Description

DOULTON CHARACTER JUGS
by Richard Dennis, privately published, The Malvern Press Ltd, London, 1976.
”The type of figure jug now generically known as the ‘Toby’ was apparently the creation of some mid-eighteenth century Staffordshire potter whose identity has never been definitely established.  Endearing and racy, used both for display and as a fitting receptacle for generous potations, it reflected in its many variants – sitting and standing, male and female figures – something of the spirit of a vigorous, creative and convivial era.”   Over 55 color captioned photographs highlight this early out-of-print book which pictures and describes Doulton character jugs.  The superb color photographs and in-depth captions make this book an invaluable reference.  Captions include name, terse description, size, dates and more.
5.9” x 8.2” softback in very good condition.  36 pages.
