Paul Pry: In the original 1825 London production, Madame Vestris sang “Cherry Ripe”, and John Liston portrayed the title character. His costume included striped pants, Hessian boots, top hat, and tailcoat. Liston’s portrayal was so popular that images of Liston as Pry appeared on signs, shops, warehouses, handkerchiefs, and snuff boxes. Porcelain and pearlware factories in Staffordshire, Rockingham, Derby and Worcestershire produced figurines of Liston as Pry. The Liston as Pry image was even stamped on butter.Height: 7 ⅛”
