Royal Doulton Toby Character Jug John Peel (10712)
Royal Doulton character jug, John Peel, in the "mini" size, measuring only 60mm tall and 65mm wide, including spout and handle. John Peel (1776 – 1854) was a famous English huntsman, known for his enthusiasm, skill and hospitality. Fond of drink, he hosted large, popular, post-hunt celebration. Peel has been immortalised in the song “Dye ken John Peel,” written by John Woodcock Graves. This jug was designed by Harry Fenton and was issued from 1947-1960. This jug is in great vintage condition with no chips, cracks or repairs and only very mild crazing on the underside of the bottom of the jug.
