American Toby Jug Museum 

Pig Monk toby jug produced by Schafer & Vater of Rudolstadt, Germany, circa 1925. The pig is an omnivorous, domesticated, even-toed, hoofed mammal. The size and weight of pigs largely depends on their breed. Pigs grunt and make snorting sounds. When used as livestock, pigs are farmed primarily for the production of meat. A group of pigs is called a passel, a team, or a sounder. Pigs, especially miniature breeds, are kept as pets. This pig has dedicated his life to a religious path, adopting the lifestyle and clothing of his order. The smaller jug stands 4" tall.
