Any help on this item

I wonder if anyone can advise mo on where I can find out some more information about this jug/figure I know it is by Shorter & sons, and it’s name is Dick Beadeye from H.M.S Pinafore, but I can’t find another one the same size as this one which is 26cm high.

 

Welcome!
PLEASE use "Thread Tools" above your post and add something in your title that states what the item is... especially since you chose to post in General Discussion instead of Pottery. Otherwise, people in-the-know concerning your item may not look at this thread. Also, it's best if you use "Full Image" for your photos instead of thumbnails.
And just FYI, you do not need to use the polling feature.
Thanks!

EDIT: I see you changed your photos to Full Image, thanks!
A moderator also moved your post to the Pottery section.

 

Good advice above. And if you're just looking for more information about your jug, a modern copy is in the collection of the V&A.

@Bookahtoo @i need help @daveydempsey

Please move this to the pottery category.

Hello @Carly piasco & welcome to the forum!!

This will help get more eyes on your item.

However, as @bluumz said above editing your title will also increase your chances of getting the right members looking at your piece.

Click on "thread tools" at the top right & select edit title.

You can also go back & choose full image on your photos which will make it easier for the members.

 

I don't know if this is the case in this instance, but sometimes people want their post and pictures in the private "back room" area of the website which is immune to the web crawlers.

 

I doubt a newbie would know that.....as a matter of fact most here don't.. imo

 

Good to know it's Dick Deadeye not Dick Beadeye.

 

Looks like the winner of the poll 'Any advise' is "2". 1 got no votes.

 

I found a tall jug of a different character from the play that sold for 386.78 GBP, 29-Aug-2019. That converts to 490.51 in today's money valuation.

There is a 10-incher listed on eBay right now. Lots of good information in the description.

To those not familiar with Gilbert & Sullivan's delightful work... H.M.S. Pinafore is an operetta.

I only knew this from watching the TV show Frasier.
