Toby Jug hand reconstruction from the late 19th century
Toby jug from the late 19th century with missing hand was brought in by a new client who wanted the piece repaired
After a lot of research, I found a few photos of the Toby and started to reconstruct the hand, carving a completely new addition. this was not easy considering the nature of the Toby jugs made by this company were hand finished to give an individual feel, one of a kind.
Final restoration complete with colour match and final cold glaze. The client was very happy.
