"Toby Fillpot" is the name on the jug of ale which the drinker holds. An unaccompanied name on the side of a jug is usually that of the intended drinker. The whole point of the Toby Fillpot poem, however, is that the drinker is made into the clay of the jug itself. Is Toby Fillpot pouring or being poured from? Perhaps it is a cycle of Toby Fillpots, and you join the cycle yourself by drinking from this mug.Shape Type
