Georgie character jug - Longton New Art Pottery circa 1955

Georgie character jug produced by Longton New Art Pottery of Longton, England, circa 1955 using its Kelsboro Ware tradename. "Georgie Porgie" is a popular English language nursery rhyme. Originally the lyrics were: "Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie, Kissed the girls and made them cry, When the boys came out to play, Georgie Porgie ran away." These appeared in "The Kentish Coronal" (1841), where the rhyme was described as an "old ballad" with the name spelled "Georgy Peorgy". That version persisted through most of the 19th century and was later illustrated by Kate Greenaway in 1881. It was also quoted by Rudyard Kipling in the story named after it, published in 1891.
