Ladybug toby jug milk - Royal Bayreuth circa 1920

Ladybug milk pitcher toby jug produced by Royal Tettau Porcelain Factory of Bavaria, Germany, circa 1920 using its Royal Bayreuth tradename. Coccinellidae is a widespread family of small beetles. They are commonly known as ladybugs in North America and ladybirds in the United Kingdom; "lady" refers to mother Mary. Entomologists use the names ladybird beetles or lady beetles to avoid confusion with true bugs. The more than 6,000 described species have a global distribution and are found in a variety of habitats. They are oval beetles with a domed back and flat underside. Many of the species have conspicuous aposematic colors and patterns, such as red with black spots, that warn potential predators that they taste bad. This is the middle size of three known sizes of ladybug jugs with the water pitcher standing 6" tall and the creamer standing 3 3/4" tall.
