Josh character jug - Artone Pottery circa 1960

Josh double-sided character jug produced by Artone Pottery of Burslem, England, circa 1960. Josh is a truncated version of Joshua, which comes from the Hebrew name Yehoshua, a central figure in the Jewish Bible and Christian Old Testament. This derivation, combined with its meaning, “Yahweh is salvation” or "God rescues," makes Josh a powerful choice for religious families of many faiths. The tiny Josh character jug stands 1 1/2" tall.
