Old Arry character jug - Morley Ware 1955

Old Arry character jug produced by William Morley of Fenton, England, in 1955 using its Morley Ware tradename. Old Arry depicts London cockney costermongers, itinerant street traders who usually display their wares on a barrow or cart. Costermonger is derived from one who sold large apples called costards. 'Arry is a true cockney, born within the sound of the bells of St. Mary-le-Bow in Cheapside. The archetypal cockney, 'Arry, is a street trader selling his wares in one of London's famous street markets. He is an expert in rhyming slang, so called because it substitutes the intended word or phrase with one that rhymes with it. A typical conversation between 'Arry and his old china, or mate.
