Featured Character of the attached toby jug

Unknown character Toby Jug by Frank Robson posted Feb 19, 2023 at 3:27 PM

I recently obtained this Toby jug in a job lot at an auction and have no idea who the character depicted is.
Has anyone got an idea?

Maybe someone can read this one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1333789960/an-antique-french-nineteenth-century?gpla=1&gao=1&

 

Hard. Maybe @Aquitaine can help.

 

Toby jugs didn't always depict a known person or character. Maybe yours is simply generic.
You could ask these people, they have a contact page:

Very interesting!

EDIT: The largest two letters on your mark look like a script GD.

 

These are from the base @janetpjohn's link....maybe someone can glean enough from the different colors...........and just getting to the other 2 images now....

Similar forms from France ...

So she is called Jacqueline, or a Jacqueline pitcher.

 

That bottom string of letters on the image from the bottom of your Jug, @Frank Robson MIGHT just driver me BATTY (or battier as the case may be!!!!) Depending on how the eye wants to catch it......One minute my eye sees it as
JDCPP... and the next as PC?PP !!!!! The TOP letters Script Cap G & D, with a tiny X before the G......there is also another BARELY visible X and AJ7 BELOW the Script G. I think that's a large #3 at the bottom of the piece......OH and I can't read what's I think script also and below/after the Script D.....Sorry couldn't be of more help!!

To my eyes - in the cartouche is G D & cie [and company], and below is CLOPPA, or CIOPPA, which is a known surname, or maybe a place. There was a G Demartine & cie in Limoges making pretty porcelain tableware circa 1900, but nothing like this, so that may be a red herring! Impressed marks can be so tantalizing in their illegibility!

 

Thanks for all of the responses. Very helpful collectively. I did a blue tack impress and put the possible letters into a crossword word finder and it suggested GRAPPA which might make sense. This would indicate an Italian wine jug though the term Grappa is also used in English
