Royal Doulton John Peel Toby Jug

Description

This is a recent arrival at the boutique. It is a 1930’s Toby Jug, made by Royal Doulton, depicting John Peel.

John Peel, born in Cumbria in c.1776 – died 1854 and he was a ‘huntsman’. His fame became known by the name of a nursery rhyme written during the 16th century. It is reputed that, John Peel’s friend, William Woodcock Graves, altered the Rhyme to suit the characteristics of his friend. ‘D’ye ken John Peel’ was being song far and wide, particularly after John’s death.

The jug is heavily crazed, and there are several repairs. Overall, this is considered to be in acceptable condition.

It is 20cm wide (at it’s widest) x 17cm tall x 13cm depth.
