This book is a sweeping survey of the development of the Toby and related character jugs from their early beginnings to the present day, and features countless classic and often quirky examples of jugs in both color and black and white photos. This great new book will be your guide to this fascinating area of ceramics and will provide useful hints and advice for collectors.
