American Toby Jug Museum 

Grover Cleveland toby jug produced by Anna Pottery of Anna, Illinois circa 1885. Stephen Grover Cleveland (1837 - 1908) was an American lawyer and politician who served as the 22nd and 24th president of the United States from 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897. Cleveland is the only president in American history to serve two non-consecutive terms in office. Cleveland is considered by most historians to have been a successful leader, and has been praised for honesty, integrity, adherence to his morals, defying party boundaries, and effective leadership. The jug features President Grover Cleveland flanked by three other figures. Cleveland has "President / 1885" incised on his chest. Two goateed figures flank the president whispering in his ear, one with an open jacket pocket inscribed "CHANGE," and the other with a jacket pocket opened and inscribed "REFORM", following the oft-repeated commentary on American political corruption and the idea of money buying power. A fourth, subtly smiling goateed figure with hands plunged deep in his pockets appears on the reverse. The handle is modeled in the form of a sinuous, coat-tailed man with slicked hair and googly eyes, inscribed "Ex Sec / Interior," referring to Carl Schurz, Secretary of the Interior under Rutherford B. Hayes and one of the prime figures actively working to convince Republicans to vote for the Democrat Cleveland.
