Quaker Man character jug large size produced by Wood & Sons of Burslem, England, circa 1980. The Quaker Man is a member of the Religious Society of Friends, a Christian sect founded by George Fox around 1650. Due to the popularity of the Quaker Man Centenary character jug, this is one of series of pieces designed in the likeness of Quaker Oats' Quaker Man trademark. Although Quaker Oats Company claims that the Quaker Man is not meant to resemble or represent an actual person, the company identified the Quaker Man as William Penn in advertising dating back to 1909.
