Royal Doulton Large Size Character Jug "Cliff Cornell" - Excellent Condition

The Royal Doulton medium character jug "Cliff Colonel" is a charming tribute to classic British character and wit. With his Brown blazer, neatly groomed moustache, and confident expression, this jug captures the proud posture and genial charm of a seasoned military man. In excellent condition, the glaze remains lustrous, and every detail from the gleam in his eye to the folds of his uniform is preserved beautifully, making it a prized addition to any collection.

The famous Colonel Fluxes, known for his sharp humor and flair for storytelling, is often said to have inspired elements of Cliff Colonel's design. Fluxes, a beloved figure of British stage and radio comedy, portrayed a retired colonel with a blend of pomp and comic misadventure. His exaggerated tales of far-flung campaigns and his signature exclamation, By thunder, that reminds me of Burma! became legendary. Royal Doulton's Cliff Colonel jug captures that same spirit making it not just a collectible, but a nostalgic nod to a bygone era of gentlemanly satire and patriotic charm.
