American Toby Jug Museum 

Monkey with Bananas toby jug produced in Italy circa 1950. Monkey is a common name that may refer to most mammals of the infraorder Simiiformes, also known as the simians. Traditionally, all animals in the group now known as simians are counted as monkeys except the apes, which constitutes an incomplete paraphyletic grouping. This monkey is holding a ripe bunch of bananas and his tail curls up to form the handle of the jug.
