American Toby Jug Museum 

Lest We Forget character jug produced by Bairstow Manor Pottery of Hanley, England, in a 2018 limited edition 500. This character jug commemorates the 100th anniversary of the First World War. World War I, sometimes called the Great War, was a global conflict from July 28, 1914 to November 11, 1918 that left unprecedented destruction and death, with millions of people killed. Its belligerents included much of Europe, the Russian Empire, the United States, and the Ottoman Empire. Fighting took place across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Pacific, and parts of Asia. New technology, including the recent invention of the airplane, trench warfare, and especially chemical weapons made it one of the deadliest conflicts in history. An estimated 9 million soldiers died in combat, with another 5 million civilian deaths as a result of military actions, hunger, and disease. This jug depicts an English infantryman with a pistol and English flag forming the handle. It was modeled by Ray Noble.
