Vintage Royal Doulton Mephistopheles 2-Faces CHARACTER TOBY JUG Devil Satan

A lovely, RARE vintage Royal Doulton 2-faced Mephistopheles Character Toby Jug with the Devil on both sides in two poses, one side is sick and saintly and the other is devilishly healthy. The verse on the underside reflects this and means we are all willing to be good when we are very sick but when we are healthy, we revert to our usual ways.

("Devil a saint" is effectively "to hell with being a Saint"). The mug serves as a good reminder of our true nature! When the devil was sick - the devil a Saint would be.

When the devil got well, devil a Saint was he. Designed by Charles Noke and Harry Fenton in the late 1930s: two giants in the history of Royal Doulton. This is a keeper and highly collectible. Excellent condition, no damage and no crazing. Approx 3-3/8" tall, 4" width, spout to handle.
