Torquay Moto ware jug

c.1970s Vintage Torquay Motto Ware Jug
A charming piece of Torquay motto ware dating from around 1970, made from highly glazed terracotta and decorated with the uplifting sayings, "Shine like a glow worm if you can't be a star" and "Do what you can being what you are". A lovely sentiment that feels just as relevant today.
The jug has an interesting shape with a distinctive pinched lip and the traditional decorative character associated with Torquay ware. It is in fabulous condition, with no chips or cracks, and has a lovely fine crackle to the glaze which adds to its vintage appeal.
A cheerful and collectible piece of Devon pottery, perfect for a kitchen dresser or pottery collection.
Dimensions: Height 15cm x diameter 9.5cm.
