Opivalo toby jug produced by Terekhovs & Kiselev in Rechitsa, Russia, circa 1840. Opivalo is the name given to the Staffordshire Ordinary Toby, which is the original toby jug featuring a common man of the time wearing 18th century clothing and a tricorn hat. This Opivalo toby jug is seated in a high back chair, holding a large pitcher of ale on his left knee with his left hand. Russian factories named the typical Ordinary Toby Opivalo, meaning heavy drinker.
