This Royal Doulton Toby Mug depicts fabled figure Auld Mac and his saying "Bang went Saxpence". A song by Sir Henry Lauder, a 20th century singer and comedian, called "Bang went Saxpence" inspired this piece. In it a Scotsman named Mac found the prices too high in London because every time he made a move "bang went saxpence", which is incised on the back of his Tam, below "Auld Mac".

The ceramic and porcelain figurine is beautifully crafted with intricate details and vibrant colors. It is a great addition to any collection, especially for collectors of Character and Toby Jugs. The vintage piece dates back to the 1950s and is made in the United Kingdom. It is in excellent condition and has not been modified.

Measures 6 inches tall x 7 1/2 inches wide at the handle x 5 inches across.

Not new, not used, but in excellent condition
