American Toby Jug Museum 

Blackamoor toby jug medium size produced by Schafer & Vater of Rudolstadt, Germany, circa 1925. Blackamoors, or Black Moors, were people of color from North Africa who worked as servants and slaves in wealthy European households in the 1500s to the late 1800s. Blackamoor is a European art style from the Early Modern period depicting highly stylized figures, usually African males but sometimes other non-European races, in subservient or exotic form.
