American Toby Jug Museum 

Geisha Girl character jug produced by Saxony in Germany circa 1975. A geisha girl is a female Japanese performer trained in music, dancing and entertainment of men. Traditionally, geisha began their training at a very young age. Some girls were sold to geisha houses as children and began their training in various traditional arts almost immediately. During their childhood, geisha sometimes worked first as maids or assistants to experienced geisha, and then as apprentice geisha during their training. A bough of flowers forms the handle of the jug.
