Toby jug

Toby jug in the shape of a sailor in a tricorn hat, sholding a mug and a jug, a pipe beside his right leg. He wears a blue jacket and trousers, and yellow waistcoat with a black neckerchief and facings on his coat. The figure is seated on a red chair the back of which loops over to form the handle. A grey chest underneath the chair has 'TRAFALGAR' moulded on a ribbon at each end. A ship inscribed 'VICTORY' is modelled in profile on the reverse.
