Article Abstract:
Toby jug collections are some of the biggest private collections in the US, with collectors gathering on weekends and organizing tours to the Doulton factory in the UK, which revived the jugs in the 19th century. The handles of these character jugs not only say a lot about the character and their associations, but also help date the items.
