Toby jug

An earthenware toby jug modelled as a sailor sitting on a chest of dollars, holding a pipe in his left hand and a mug of ale in his right, his mouth open as if singing. The handle is formed as a tree stump. The sailor wears a blue, double-breasted jacket, striped trousers, black hat and neckerchief and black buckled shoes. 'SUCCESS TO OUR WOODEN WALLS' is inscribed on the tankard and 'DOLLARS' on both ends of the chest.
