A Graduated Set of Royal Doulton Dick Turpin Toby Jugs in Very Good Condition

Here we have a complete graduated set of Royal Doulton Dick Turpin Toby Jugs in very good condition

The Tallest is 17.5cm, then 9.5cm and the smallest 7cm tall.

My dad collected these Toby Jugs over 45 years ago and was very keen to buy ones in perfect condition and complete sets.

It took along time (before internet) trapsing around antique fairs and shops tracking the sets down but he did it for many of the designs, and this is one.

The jug is made of earthenware and is fully backstamped on the base

The Doulton Pottery was established in 1815 in the Lambeth area of London. At first, founder John Doulton, made useful wares in salt-glaze stoneware, a resilient, practical material suitable for bottles, jars and jugs- as well as drain pipes.

Joined in the 1820s by Johns son, Henry Doulton, the company enjoyed growth in the 1830s and 1840s, branching out into terra-cotta products and garden ornaments. Foreseeing the public outcry for more sanitary living conditions, Henry exquisitely timed the companys entry into the production of stoneware piping and conduits.

It was so successful that by 1846 the Lambeth factory was leading the sanitary revolution in England as the major supplier of stoneware drainpipes. This mundane business laid the foundation for the sterling reputation it developed over the next century and a half.

During this time, John Doulton dabbled in stoneware jugs with relief modeled scenes of Toby Fillpot drinking ale, as well as figurative flasks in the form of leading politicians and, in the 1840s, the first Doulton bust or character jugs portraying Lord Nelson to celebrate the great naval hero.

By the 1860s, Doulton was making the traditional style of Toby Jug in brown glaze-stoneware, including in 1863 a convivial toper sitting astride a barrel marked XX.

These jugs are in good condition, no cracks, chips or repairs
