Large Vintage Royal Doulton The Lobster Man Character Jug 1967 D6617. Designed by David Biggs.Approx 7 1/2" tall. Good condition.Provenance: Hilton Head SC Estate. Royal Doulton made Toby jugs in the traditional manner beginning in 1815 but in the 1920's Harry Simeon added color. A common feature of the Royal Doulton character jugs is their handles. The first Royal Doulton Jugs generally had plain handles, with one or two exceptions, as some of the clown jugs had multi-colored handles. The handles on the Royal Doulton mugs & jugs became much more decorative through the years and eventually become one of the key features of the Royal Doulton Toby Jugs.
