I have for sale, from my own private collection, a wonderful and rare Art Deco Jug. Produced in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, England, in 1933. Depicting a multitude of Charles Dickens Characters in low relief all of whom are listed to the base. The handle is modeled as Poor Joe’ from the novel Bleak House, with the spout as a mask in slumber. Designed by and signed by Charles Noke and inscribed’Keep any mind Green. The jug is of bulbous form and stands at 10 1/2 ins tall. Fully marked to the base with the Royal Doulton Lion and Crown. Although not a Limited Edition, it is widely believed that less than 1,000 were produced. The jug is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or restoration. There is some minor crazing to the glaze which is to be expected for a piece of this age. A wonderful Deco Jug which would grace any serious Doulton collection. I HAVE OTHER ROYAL DOULTON PIECES FOR SALE RIGHT NOW, INCLUDING RARE CHARACTER JUGS, FIGURINES AND KINGSWARE. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK! Please note that any white flashes are camera reflections. I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING DOULTON FOR OVER 25 YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD A WEAKNESS (SOME WOULD SAY AN OBSESSION) FOR CHARACTER / TOBY JUGS, KINGS WARE, SERIES WARE AND FIGURINES ESPECIALLY PRE 1980’S PIECES. HAVING RETIRED EARLY IN 2006, DUE TO POOR HEALTH, I HAVE HAD A LOT MORE TIME TO DEVOTE TO MY HOBBY /COLLECTION AND ENJOY NOTHING MORE THAN SCOURING ANTIQUES FAIRS, AUCTIONS AND E-BAY FOR INTERESTING PIECES.
