ROYAL DOULTON TALL JUG/PITCHER. ITEM: Royal Doulton tall jug or pitcher. It is part of the Series Ware collection and of course it is English made. This pattern is called “Poppies A”. The main decoration on the body of the jug is poppy flowers and stems. The series is described in Louise Irvine’s Royal Doulton Series Ware reference books, (Vol 4, Page 198). Note that the photos provided form part of the description. Please contact me if you would like more photos or further information on condition. Any shiny spots or white marks are from the camera shots, not blemishes on the item. Mustard colouring, brown trim and treacle glaze. MEASUREMENTS: 19cms high, 12cms in diameter across the top from the spout, not including the handle. The base is approx 10cms in diameter. CONDITION: No chips or cracks. Does have old age related glaze crazing, which is normally expected in ceramics of this age and adds to the character of the piece in my opinion. The brown is in good condition with just a little wear in one area on the rim. Has some glaze skips and some grit under the glaze in one area, part of the manufacturing process which would have been pretty rudimentary at the time this piece was produced. Overall in good condition in my opinion. MARKINGS: The bottom of the jug has a black Royal Doulton lion and crown back stamp. Also, the registration number, “D4012″. AGE: Ms Irvine states the pattern was produced from 1906 and withdrawn during WW1. Could be as old as 1916, but either way, this makes the item over 100 years old. GENERAL COMMENTS: Lovely collectable from a by-gone era. This piece of Royal Doulton is in good condition, especially considering its age.
