Condition:
This character jug is in impeccable condition, free from chips or cracks, enhancing its desirability. It features a unique feather handle, showcasing the creativity and artistry that flourished during the 1950s.
History & Collectibility:
Manufactured by Royal Doulton from 1947 to 1960, this jug is an excellent example of the craftsmanship from that era. Character jugs, unlike earlier Toby jugs that depicted the entire body, focus on the head and shoulders of a character, making them highly collectible.
Royal Doulton character jugs were produced in five different sizes, ranging from large (6.25 inches) to miniature (1.5 inches). The miniature and tiny sizes were discontinued in 1960, which has increased their value among collectors.
Additional Information:
Royal Doulton character jugs have a rich history, and notable artisans like Leslie Harradine, Harry Fenton, and Max Henk played key roles in their creation.
