A Collection of Nine Ceramic Toby and Character Jugs including Royal Doulton Style Examples
Description
A varied collection of nine ceramic character and Toby jugs, crafted from glazed earthenware with hand-painted polychrome decoration.

The pieces exhibit a high-gloss finish characteristic of mid-20th-century pottery production. The lot includes examples consistent with Royal Doulton designs as well as potential Japanese export wares of the period. Largest jug: 19 cm height. Smallest jug: 9 cm height.
