Description

This vintage Toby Mug/Stein is a true collector’s gem, featuring iconic characters from Charles Dickens’ literary world, including Sam Weller and Sairey Gamp.

With its rich history and whimsical design, this Toby mug is a delightful conversation piece that encapsulates the spirit of Dickensian storytelling and Victorian-era tavern culture.
