American Toby Jug Museum 

Baked Potato Vendor toby jug designed by Peter Jackson and produced by Franklin Porcelain of London, England, in 1980 limited edition and sold on a subscription basis. The Baked Potato Vender has hot baked potatoes for sale. They make a perfect snack while walking down the street. Very common in Victorian London, street vendors sold merchandise or services that were easily transported; the term is synonymous with costermonger or peddler. Street vendors often advertised by loud street cries or chants, and bantered with customers, to attract attention and enhance sales. This Baked Potato Vendor cries out, "Hot baked potatoes!" This is one of twelve toby jugs in the Cries of London Series.
