Three Toby Jugs



I am visiting my mother today, so took the opportunity to photograph her small collection of Toby Jugs. They were her mothers, who bought them when my mother was a little girl. I hadn't noticed the character and detail in their faces until photographing them today.

I hope the border matches the others as I didn't use Photoshop.


Taken with Olympus kit lens 40-150mm, using natural window light on the coffee table.

  1. These are cal;led character jugs, invented by r doulton in the 1930's. Yoby jugs are much older, about 1770 and feature the whole body.
