These cruet set pieces (sold individually) are attributed to one of the early potteries in the town of Prestonpans, east of Edinburgh, in Scotland.   This was an an ideal location for the development of potteries as early as the 17th century due to the ample supplies of coal and clay that were easily transported by sea to the south side of the Firth of Forth,  These Tobies are sometimes referred to simply as Prestonpans, dating back to the early 19th century and included figures for salt, mustard, vinegar and pepper.  They were made in other areas including Staffordshire, many by Royal Doulton and Spode, where other versions were produced.   


Here is a rare, vintage / antique Toby  wearing a blue and white transfer in the Chinoiserie / Blue Willow pattern.  Perfect for any French or English Country kitchen!
