Sport character jug in a green colorway designed by Tony Sarg and produced by Stangl Pottery of Flemington, New Jersey, circa 1935. Sport is a nickname for a person who is involved in sports, promotes sports or athletic activities, or who enthusiastically supports and follows sporting activities. A sport can be a person trained to compete or interested in a sport involving physical strength, speed or endurance. The term also means someone who plays sport in a way that shows respect and fairness towards the opposing player or team. Sport comes with a removeable flat cap that he wears at events, and when removed serves as an ashtray. Known to Stangl collectors as stoby jugs (Stangl toby jugs), full colorways were original production in the 1930s to 1950s. Solid colorways were produced in the 1960s and 1970s.
