Vintage Royal Doulton Huntsman Toby Jug D6320 - 1950s

Excerpted from "A century of Royal Doulton character & Toby Jugs".

Traditionally in England, the Huntsman was the person whose responsibility it was to organize the hunt, such as a fox hunt, and possibly to look after the hounds as well. He loved to gallop, knew his pack and smacked his top boots with his crop to emphasize his charge. Soon, anyone participating on a hunt became referred to as a huntsman. Today the name simply refers to one who hunts or who practices hunting. Alas, after generations of English huntsman, fox hunting has recently been outlawed in the United kingdom.

This jug was originally issued in Doulton's Kingsware finish and was down sized and re-launched in more subdued colors in the 1950's.

This example is in excellent condition with age appropriate crazing evident on the piece. It measures 7 1/2 inches tall by 4 1/2 inches wide by 6 inches deep and weighs 1 pounds and 10 ounces. This item is shipped with the USPS by priority mail and is packaged very carefully.

Thanks for looking at my listing.
