American Toby Jug Museum 

Mrs. Claus character jug version 2 modeled by Robert I. Tabbenor and produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, in a 2005 limited edition of 500 commissioned by Pascoe & Company. Wife to Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus is a plump and jolly woman focused on bringing joy to children worldwide at Christmas time. The first mention of Mrs. Claus was in a March, 1881, issue of "Harper's Magazine", referring to her as "St. Nicholas' good natured frau, Molly Grietje." The modern depictions of her all seem to show Santa's wife as an older woman who loves to cook and who keeps the North Pole in order, from ironing her husband's red suit to overseeing the toy making. A stuffed stocking, knitting needles, and red, yellow and green yarn form the handle of the jug.
