American Toby Jug Museum 

Innkeeper toby jug produced in a medium size by Roy Kirkham Pottery of Tunstall, England, circa 1975. An innkeeper is someone who owns or manages an inn. When you arrive at an inn, the innkeeper might be the person who checks you in and gives you a key to your room. The earliest innkeepers ran inns in Europe during medieval times. These inns provided lodging, food, and a place for travelers to leave their horses, and an innkeeper managed all of these details. This jug was produced from original Wedgwood & Company molds.
