American Toby Jug Museum 

Newspaper Seller toby jug produced by Sherwood Pottery of Staffordshire, England, circa 1990 using an authentic Shorter & Son mold and a Shorter name with a tree backstamp. Braving all varieties of weather, the Newspaper Seller stands at his corner every day hawking the latest edition of the local paper, the Southern Evening Echo. With the latest news and gossip, his job is to sell as many copies as he can every day to the passersby. This jug celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Southern Daily Echo, a regional tabloid newspaper based in Southampton, covering the county of Hampshire in the United Kingdom.
