Lot 374: A Collection of Character Jugs and Novelty Ceramic Wares in the Style of Royal Doulton and Staffordshire Potteries

This assortment of approximately 25 ceramic items consists primarily of glazed earthenware character jugs, many resembling the production of Royal Doulton and other mid-20th-century North Staffordshire potteries. The lot includes a variety of sizes ranging from large display pieces to miniatures. Subjects featured include nautical and pirate themes with eyepatches and parrots, historical figures such as a man holding a green bottle inscribed WHISKY in black block lettering, and a woman in a pink bonnet holding a ball of wool. Functional novelty wares are present, including a sugar sifter and matching egg cups depicting a figure in a blue coat, a miniature policeman jug with a whistle-form handle, a small green boot-shaped vessel, and a miniature relief-moulded stein. Two pieces are finished in a monochrome pale green celadon-style glaze. The items feature polychrome hand-painted decoration over moulded bodies. No manufacturer marks are visible on the exterior or bases in the provided images.
