Oliver Hardy character jug produced in England in 1976. The jug is incised Phyllis 1976 on the bottom. With Stan Laurel, part of probably the most popular comedy team in motion-picture history, Oliver Norvell Hardy (1892-1957) was born in Harlem, Georgia. The thin Laurel and rotund Hardy became a team in 1927. Their typical routine involved a simple set-up, which is then complicated by their zany antics. Their films are marked by expert pantomime, well-defined character and special care taken with props. They appeared in shorts until 1935 and in features until 1951. Hardy made frequent appearances in straight roles without Laurel. Their best-known films included the Academy Award-winning "The Music Box" (1933), "Fra Diavolo" (1933), "Sons of the Desert" (1934) and "Way Our West" (1937). The Oliver Hardy character jug is a pair with an identically finished Stan Laurel character jug.
