Poorman toby jug produced by Roy Kirkham Pottery of Tunstall, England, 1980-1983. A poorman is someone with no or little income who often is homeless and has to beg for money and scraps to survive every day. "Tinker, Tailor" is a counting game, nursery rhyme and fortune telling song traditionally played in England. It is commonly used by children for "counting out", e.g. for choosing who shall be "It" in a game of tag. The verse is: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, Rich Man, Poor Man, Beggar Man, Thief. This jug was produced from original Wedgwood & Company molds.
