A Century of Royal Doulton Character & Toby Jugs with Price Guide. A Century of Royal Doulton Character & Toby Jugs is a unique reference book in the collectibles field. The most comprehensive book ever published on this twentieth century collectible phenomenon, it provides the mjost extensive information ever gathered together in a single volume. The text is lavishly illustrated with over 1,600 large color photographs of more than 800 separate jugs and derivatives, most of which never before have been compiled together in colored print. Photographs of every Royal Doulton production jug and derivative of the past century are included, plus those of more than 100 prototype jugs, many of which will be new to the collector’s eye. In addition, the authors have combed the Royal Doulton collecting world to provide scores of photographs of trial colorway jugs. The scope, details and pictorial abundance set this book apart from any other reference book on the subject. Following an introduction by Royal Doulton expert, Louise Irvine, the book is divided into four major sections: Early Twentieth Century Stoneware Jugs, Character Jugs, Toby Jugs and Derivatives. Each section provides, in alphabetical order by character, a large color photograph of all of its sizes; a biographical or historical profile; statistics as to size, modeler and model number; and the jug’s production history. Also included are photographs of its backstamps, all known trial colorways and, in many cases, either a close-up or rear view of its intricate handle or a photo of the rear of the jug. Prototype jugs that never made it into production are given similar treatment throughout the book. A substantial Appendix provides lists and tables to help the collector navigate through the various sizes, types, backstamps, modelers, model numbers, etc. And even includes a section on clay models that never made it to the prototype stage. The book is the culmination of nearly eighty years of collecting experience and five years of research and travel on the part of the authors throughout the U. It is a “must have” reference book for every serious Royal Doulton jug collector, as well as the general antique and collectible enthusiast and dealer. Mullins & David C.
