Toby
I think this may be a Toby Jug , otherwise it would be termed a Character Jug. With a few others it graces the entrance to the Toby Inn, where we held our Keep In Touch gathering today, as we do on alternate months.
Although conversation flowed we were distracted by a group of pipers, in their kilted finery, outside in the grounds, warming up and (with a digital tuner, no less) tuning each drone in turn such that all were the same. We had hoped they would come in with the expected funeral party but they all disappeared, presumably to form a guard of honour at the crematorium (not far away, on the other side of the main road).
The funeral party arrived as we prepared to leave so we did not impinge upon each other except for the staff clearing away before our allotted time, which I find rather irritating. I might have taken another piece of brownie and cream and eaten it much more slowly than was necessary, before donning coat and sauntering out...
