The production of Toby jugs fell into decline and was not revived until the early 1950s.

When did Delft start putting marks on pottery?
Often, for the Delft factory, a person’s name may be listed instead of a factory name. This is usually an artist or the factory owner and is important for further research. The marks were chosen primarily so this listing would be useful to the average collector. The majority of marks date after 1850.
