This vessel was made by Andrew E. Warner Jr., Baltimore, Maryland.
Dates to c.1886. It's 5.75 inches (14.61 cm.) tall.
What was this shape called?

Hello Trev.
Yes, it's called a Toby Jug.

Don't see many of these in sterling. Generally made by potteries in some type of earthenware.
Seems to me kind of unusual for a silver piece to be inspired by another type of media.
Can anyone think of other examples?

Pat.

The reverse is definitely so - most early china articles were based on silver forms, especially noticeable in such as Lancaster (Spode) which have gadrooning and other forms of decoration taken from the silver.

I wonder if a Pilgrim's bottle would be another example?
