Ordinary Toby jug - Bretby Art Pottery circa 1950

Ordinary Toby jug produced by Bretby Art Pottery of Derbyshire, England, circa 1950. The Ordinary Toby is the original toby jug featuring a common man of the time wearing 18th century clothing and a tricorn hat. Sitting in a chair, this Ordinary Toby has a flagon in his left hand and cup in his right. There is a Thorens musical movement fitted into the base of this toby jug that plays the tune There's A Tavern In The Town. How appropriate for a heavy drinker.
