Royal Doulton Dickens Ware Mr Pickwick Jug

A Royal Doulton Dickens Ware jug featuring Mr Pickwick, the genial hero of The Pickwick Papers. He's shown in his top hat and spectacles, yellow waistcoat and blue tailcoat, with his coat tails blowing as he leans into the wind on a cobbled street. The scene continues around the jug with a row of Georgian townhouses and a cart, villagers outside cottages beneath a blue sky, and a clothier's shop window. The design is signed Noke, for Charles Noke, Doulton's art director and the creator of the Dickens Ware range. The square shape has a shaped rim, a scroll moulding below the spout, and a squared handle trimmed in dark green.

Pattern D3020, introduced circa 1908. 5 inches tall.

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