Mr. Pickwick toby jug produced by Bairstow Manor Pottery of Hanley, England, circa 1995. Samuel Pickwick is a fictional character and the main protagonist in The Pickwick Papers (1836), the first novel by author Charles Dickens. One of the author's most famous and loved creations, Mr. Pickwick is a retired successful businessman and is the Founder and Chairman of the Pickwick Club, a club formed to explore places remote from London and investigate the quaint and curious phenomena of life found there. Using William Kent's original molds, this Mr. Pickwick toby jug is a reproduction of the William Kent Mr. Pickwick toby jug from the early 1900s.
