Originating from a humble pottery studio in Lambeth, England, their artisans craft a captivating array of items, from vases and jars to outdoor statuary. Renowned for hand-painted figurines inspired by literature, historical character jugs, whimsical animal figures, and finely made housewares, Royal Doulton continues to enchant the world with their magical creations. In 1934, Royal Doulton revolutionized the collectible market with the introduction of the Character Jug, originally designed by Noke himself. Building on the momentum from their innovative toby jugs of the 1920s, these new Character Jugs captured the public? The debut models, John Barleycorn and Old Charley, quickly gained popularity and were soon joined by a cast of familiar faces. The collection expanded rapidly, introducing smaller jugs in 1935 and a brief medium size in 1938. The late 1930s also welcomed the first Character Jug derivatives, including tobacco jars, musical jugs, and even teapots adorned with popular characters. However, the onset of WWII slowed new productions, though it didn? T halt innovation entirely, as seen in the rare wartime commemorative white Winston Churchill Character Jug of 1941.
