Description

Postage is extra.

.
For sale is a large size character jug (D6438) by Royal Doulton depicting Rip Van Winkle, as designed by Geoff Blower and modelled by Max Henk in 1954.

Rip Van Winkle is the main character from a short-story of the same title written in 1819 by American author Washington Irving (1783-1859).

All Royal Doulton jugs are hand-made at every stage of the process from moulding to hand-painting and firing, each one going through three different firing stages in the kiln.

Royal Doulton at Burslem in Stoke-on-Trent were prolific producers of high-quality slip-cast character jugs that proved very popular in their day and are avidily collected. Royal Doulton produced their first character jugs from the 1930's and are still being produced today.
