Toby The Teapot

A few weeks ago I came across this teapot at a fleamarket - it is 'Toby', Punch & Judy's dog. As I have my own real life Toby dog I just had to buy it!

For those of you across the pond who might not know about Punch & Judy, they are two characters from a traditional seaside puppet show. You can find out more here: Punch & Judy

  6. This kind of Toby is perfectly acceptable....about the only sort of dog that is. At least this one won't pinch my food.

  10. What a lovely little dog I would have bought him. I have a wire fox terrier called Freda , she sits like a punch & Judy dog, thinking of getting her a ruff for her neck
