<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DanaB, post: 1136337, member: 10739&quot;]Hello,</p><p><br /></p><p>This is an English toby jug. Probably from 1900-1950s I&#039;d say. I&#039;ve collected tobys for 40 yrs. The mark doesn&#039;t tell me anything about it. But by the way it looks, I can tell it&#039;s from England. A number of potters made this toby. I know many tobys name. I wish I could tell you the name of this toby. But I&#039;m not familiar with the exact name of this one and I do not own one. He is standing with his head slightly turned and a jug of ale held in his left hand, while his right hand is cupping the jug. </p><p><br /></p><p>Tobys got their name from the original toby made for Toby Philpot. It is not known if he was real or a character in a book, but he is known as nothing more than a drunkard and a sailor.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yours is not Toby Philpot because he is sitting down. But there are many, many different tobys. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope I given you some incite and helped in some small way.</p><p>Dana[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
