Royal Doulton Dickens Ware Little Nell Jug

A Royal Doulton Dickens Ware jug featuring Little Nell, the gentle heroine of The Old Curiosity Shop. She stands in a green sprigged dress and dark cloak, holding a posy of flowers and her bonnet, on a street lined with a clothier's shop and a marine store. The scene continues around the jug with a row of brightly coloured townhouses and a passing cart, villagers outside green-fronted cottages, and more shopfronts by the handle. Part of the Dickens Ware range created by Charles Noke, Doulton's art director. The square shape has a shaped rim, a scroll moulding below the spout and a squared handle trimmed in dark green, all on a warm yellow ground shading to tan at the base.

Pattern D5175, introduced circa 1932. 6.5 inches tall.

No chips, cracks or repairs. Crazing to the glaze.
