<p>[QUOTE="DanaB, post: 1951997, member: 10739"]No not really. Tobys and Character jugs were made out of clay in the 1800s and 1900s but by the end of the 1900s times had changed. Jugs began to be made out of other mediums. Some potters still used clay but most jugs were changed and we began to see ceramics or glass come on the market. England started the jugs but eventually a number of countries began to make them. But they were never made in every country. There's only a limited group of countries that made them. France used white clays. But most jugs are no longer made from clay. So when I see colored clay I can usually tell what country it's from. Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
