Along with the Royal Doulton hallmark this jug also bares a stamp "Doulton & Co Limited 1967" . The jug measures approx 7.5" tall. Mint condition, no chips, repairs or crazing. Royal Doulton Toby Jugs are hand made and decorated.The following information comes from an Internet Search, "A Toby Jug - also sometimes known as a Fillpot (or Philpot) - is a figural pitcher or ewer in the form of a seated person, or the head of a recognizable person (often an English king). Typically the seated figure is a heavily-set, jovial man holding a mug of beer in one hand and a pipe of tobacco in the other and wearing 18th century attire: a long coat and a tricorn hat. The tricorn hat forms a pouring spout, often with a removable lid, and a handle is attached at the rear. Jugs depicting just the head and shoulders of a figure are also referred to as Toby Jugs, although these should strictly be called "Character Jugs". Z12
