Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek toby jug modeled by Ray Noble and produced by Bairstow Manor Pottery of Hanley, England, in a 2015 limited edition of 100 commissioned by the American Toby Jug Museum. Chiang Kai-shek (1887-1975) was a Chinese politician, revolutionary, and military leader who served as the leader of the Republic of China and the Generalissimo of the National Revolutionary Army. He held these positions in mainland China from 1928 until 1949, when his nationalist Kuomintang party was defeated in the Chinese Civil War by the Chinese Communist Party. Thereafter, he led the remnant of the ROC government on the island of Taiwan until his death in 1975. A Chinese dragon forms the handle of the jug. This World War II Allied Leaders Collection was made in the style of the World War I Allied Leaders Collection produced by A. J. Wilkinson circa 1920.
