Behind him are trees. His contour resembles that of a Toby jug. Beneath the design are verses beginning:  'Dear Tom this brown Jug that now foams with mild Ale (In which I will drink to sweet Nan of the Vale) was once Toby Fillpot, a thirsty old Soul ...'  The verse describes how a potter formed the jug out of the clay of Toby when he had long been buried."--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Title etched below image.</dc:description><dc:description>After Dighton.
