FAQs

A Toby jug is a pottery jug shaped like the full figure of a seated person, typically depicted as a stout, jovial man holding a mug of beer and a pipe, originating in 18th-century England and later produced in various regions including continental Europe.

Creamware is a type of earthenware made from refined light-coloured clay bodies, coated with a transparent lead glaze that pooled to a yellowish hue in crevices, developed extensively in the 18th century.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit signs of age such as crazing in the glaze, firing imperfections, wear to the base, and characteristic manual forming techniques consistent with pre-industrial ceramic production.

These pieces can be displayed on open shelving, mantelpieces, or inside glass-fronted cabinets to add historical texture, character, and a conversational focal point to a contemporary space.

Antique ceramics should be kept out of direct sunlight, cleaned gently with a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth without harsh chemical detergents, and protected from sudden temperature fluctuations.
