Royal Doulton Dickens Ware Mr Micawber Jug

A Royal Doulton Dickens Ware jug featuring Mr Micawber, the irrepressible optimist from David Copperfield. He stands in his top hat and blue frock coat with his cane outside a coaching inn, beside a London to York Coach sign, and the scene continues around the jug with the inn yard, a gallery, and luggage waiting for the coach. The design is signed Noke, for Charles Noke, Doulton's art director and the creator of the Dickens Ware range. The square Art Nouveau shape has a shaped rim, a scroll moulding below the spout and a squared green handle, finished in a graduated tan glaze with a bright green interior.

Pattern D3947, introduced circa 1918. 5.5 inches tall.

No chips, cracks or repairs. Light crazing to the glaze.
