Quaker Man Centenary character jug - Wood & Sons 1977

Quaker Man Centenary character jug produced by Wood & Sons of Burslem, England, in a 1977 limited edition of 2,600 to commemorate the centenary of the Quaker Oats' Quaker Man trademark. The Quaker Man is a member of the Religious Society of Friends, a Christian sect founded by George Fox around 1650. This is the first in a series of pieces designed in the likeness of Quaker Oats' Quaker Man trademark. Although Quaker Oats Company claims that the Quaker Man is not meant to resemble or represent an actual person, the company identified the Quaker Man as William Penn in advertising dating back to 1909.
