Title
Toby Fillpot
Description
English: A jovial and enormously stout man sits on a chair holding a large frothing jug in his right hand, a pipe in his left. Behind him are trees. His contour resembles that of a Toby jug. Beneath the design are verses beginning:



'Dear Tom this brown Jug that now foams with mild Ale
(In which I will drink to sweet Nan of the Vale)
Was once Toby Fillpot, a thirsty old Soul - '.

They describe how a potter formed the jug out of the clay of Toby when he had long been buried. 3 April 1786

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) It is suggested that the original of the Toby jug was Edward King, commonly called Toby, whose head was on the sign of his coffee-house at Coventry. See Caulfield, 'Remarkable Persons', 1819, i, pp. 125 ff. 'Caricatures', i. 175.
