Bellringer 3/4 body creamer toby jug in a blue jacket colorway produced by Royal Tettau Porcelain Factory of Bavaria, Germany, circa 1920 using its Royal Bayreuth tradename. A town crier, also called a bellringer, is an officer of a royal court or public authority who makes public pronouncements in the streets as required. Criers often dress elaborately, by a tradition dating to the 18th century, in a red and gold coat, white breeches, black boots and a tricorn hat. In English-speaking countries, they carried a handbell to attract people's attention, as they shouted the words "Oyez, Oyez, Oyez!" before making their announcements. The word "Oyez" means "hear ye," which is a call for silence and attention. This bellringer's left hand and the bell he is holding form the handle of the jug. This size jug is commonly referred to as a creamer.
