This small statue was designed by Henk Smulders and erected in 1986. The sculptor is also known for the many statues he created for The Efteling theme park. The sculpture honours Tilburg’s past textile industry. The residents of Tilburg used to save their urine in jugs, which was then used to wash wool in the factories, hence the Jug Pisser.

Im a student of Tilburg University and i have passed this statue may be a thousand times. But i never looked at it very close. It's nice to read why this man is carrying the bottle. Nice history! I like In Your Pocket!
