Bagpiper toby jug - Marshall Taplow circa 1930

Bagpiper toby jug produced in chalkware by Marshall Taplow of London, England, circa 1930. Bagpipers are expert musicians who are skilling in the playing of the bagpipes. Bagpipes are a woodwind instrument using enclosed reeds fed from a constant reservoir of air in the form of a bag. The Great Highland bagpipes are well known, but people have played bagpipes for centuries throughout large parts of Europe, Northern Africa, Western Asia, and northern parts of South Asia. This is an advertising jug for Marshall Taplow Whitehall Distillery and was designed to hold a miniature bottle of liquor.
