DescriptionStaffordshire potters began to produce Toby jugs in the third quarter of the 1700s. Many potters produced the form with many variations. Toby jugs remained popular into the 1800s. The name has several associations, but the most important is probably Toby Philpot, the heavy-drinking subject of a popular song.
