The famous ones are from Royal Doulton, though when I went web-crawling I found an ad for Hummel ones.
Collector figures in the shape of a jug. In looking, I found out something I didn't know -- the ones in the shape of a whole figure, are Toby jugs; the ones that are just a head, are "Character jugs." (My favorite is Long John Silver, with his parrot forming the handle).
The URL below has some info and pictures.
