Lucifer toby jug produced by Weetman Giftware of Tunstall, England, circa 1955. This is one in a series of characters from the Disney film "Cinderella" (1950). Lucifer is the Tremaines' pet cat. He provides a sinister and scheming opposing counterpart to Cinderella's loyal and good-natured pet dog Bruno, as well as the birds and mice who are supportive and loving friends and allies of Cinderella. He is depicted as a sly, wicked, and manipulative mouse consumer. In a particularly conniving scene, Lucifer tries to rid the chateau's pet dog Bruno outside of the kitchen Lucifer is consuming his breakfast bowl of milk in, by scratching him painfully. Lucifer's encounters Jaq and Gus as they attempt to retrieve a sash and necklace of beads from a laundry pile, as part of making Cinderella's dress for the ball. The mice attempt to sneak past their foe while carrying the sash. Unfortunately, Lucifer's impeccable hearing ability picks up suspicious movement nearby and awakes, confused and a bit cranky. Lucifer's tail forms the handle of the jug.
