| Thanks to Vidfletch (David Fletcher) for solving the mystery
of this Toby Jug:
"It is Italian. There was a
company in the USA called Norleans, which I presume means they were in
New Orleans! They appear to have been an importer of china and
glass. I have come across the same toby jugs with the "Norleans
Made in Italy" sticker. I have also found japanese ceramics and
porcelain figures with "Norleans Made in Japan" stickers!"
