Dressed Camel toby jug - Sarreguemines circa 1910

Dressed Camel toby jug produced by Sarreguemines of Lorraine, France, circa 1910, model number 4652. A camel is an even-toed ungulate in the genus Camelus that bears distinctive fatty deposits known as "humps" on its back. Camels have long been domesticated and, as livestock, they provide food and textiles. Camels are working animals especially suited to their desert habitat and are a vital means of transport for passengers and cargo. There are three surviving species of camel. The one-humped dromedary makes up 94% of the world's camel population, and the two-humped Bactrian camel makes up 6%. The wild Bactrian camel is a separate species and is now critically endangered. This is one of six characters in the series of dressed animals.
