To the Toby Jug collector, the pinnacle of any collection is owning the original set of World War I Allied Commanders Tobys created by the Wilkinson Royal Pottery in Staffordshire, England. King George V, king of the United Kingdom from 1910 to 1936, is depicted sitting down, wearing the dark blue dress uniform of a Fleet Admiral in the Royal Navy, and holding a globe, its base inscribed PRO PATRIA. Originally produced from 1915 to 1919, these Toby Jugs are considered some of the finest examples ever produced by an English ceramic company.
