Rare 1947-1960 Royal Doulton Robin Hood Character Jug: A Remarkable Collectible

Introducing the rare and highly sought-after Royal Doulton Robin Hood Character Jug, a true gem for collectors and enthusiasts. This large-sized jug, designed by Harry Fenton in 1946, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail that Royal Doulton is renowned for.

Standing at an impressive 16cm in height, with dimensions of 16cm deep up to the handle edge and 12cm wide, this character jug is a remarkable display piece. Its impeccable condition, free from chips or cracks, adds to its desirability.

The Robin Hood jug features a unique feather handle, showcasing the creativity and artistry that emerged during the 1950s. This particular character jug was manufactured by Royal Doulton from 1947 to 1960, making it a highly collectible item from that era.

Royal Doulton character jugs have a rich history, with production dating back to the early 1930s. Unlike the earlier Toby jugs, which depicted the entire body of a character, character jugs focused on the head and shoulders. Renowned artisans such as Leslie Harradine, Harry Fenton, and Max Henk, among others, contributed to the creation of these iconic jugs.

The popularity of these character jugs led to their production in five different sizes, ranging from large (6.25 inches) to miniature (1.5 inches) vessels. The miniature and tiny sizes were discontinued in 1960, further increasing their value and desirability among collectors today.
