Offered for sale is a Royal Doulton large character jug titled “The Elephant Trainer”, model number D6841. This striking and collectible jug was designed by Stanley J. (James) Taylor and forms part of Royal Doulton’s popular Circus Performers series.

The jug features bold, colorful detailing, including an orange turban, expressive facial sculpting, and a highly imaginative handle shaped as an elephant’s head and trunk, a hallmark of Royal Doulton’s creative character jug designs.
