American Toby Jug Museum 

Breton Woman toby jug wearing a red apron and in a small size, produced by Quimper of Quimper, France, circa 1970. The Bretons are an ethnic group native to Brittany, in north-western France. They trace their heritage to groups of Brittonic speakers who emigrated from southwestern Great Britain, particularly Cornwall and Devon, mostly during the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain. They migrated in waves from the 3rd to 9th century into Armorica, which was subsequently named Brittany after them. This Breton Woman is wearing the traditional clothing of her people including her long dress with white apron, lace collar, and lace headdress. The distinctive Breton costume is deeply associated with their culture.
