American Toby Jug Museum 

Huntsman toby jug in a Kingsware finish designed by Charles J. Noke and produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, from 1913 to 1920. Traditionally in England, the Huntsman was the person whose responsibility it was to manage an organized hunt, such as a foxhunt, and possibly look after the hounds as well. He loved the Gallop, knows his pack by name and smacks his top boots with his crop to emphasize his charge. Soon, anyone participating on a hunt became referred to as a huntsman. Today the name simply refers to one who hunts or who practices hunting. After generations of English huntsman, fox hunting has recently been outlawed in the United Kingdom. This jug was originally issued in Kingsware, a distinctive treacle-brown glaze developed by Charles J. Noke in the early 1900s and used primarily for whiskey flasks. In 1919 Noke re-launched the jug in a slightly larger size in both scarlet and orange coats.
