Vintage Royal Doulton "Old Charley" (D5420) character / Toby jug from the early 1940's designed by Charles Noke. In England, the tradition of jugs or pitchers in the shape of human figures dates back to the 18th century. These drinking vessels became popular and referred to as Toby Jugs. It is said that they received this name after a song about a character known as “Toby Philpot” which was popular in 1761. In 1933, Charles J. Noke developed a new type of figural jug, that became known as the “Toby jug”. The pitcher (jug) was made of a head and shoulders rather than a full-figure. Noke designed a series of jugs , each of whom depicted a famous person or character in English history. The first jugs were of Old Charley (night watchman) and John Barleycorn (personification of whiskey).
