ONE OF THE BEST ROYAL DOULTONEnglish Decorative Ceramic/Porcelain TOBY JUGS, "DICK TURPIN, HIGHWAYMAN”DESCRIPTION: Wonderful Royal Doulton Decorative Toby Jug depicting "DICK TURPIN". This is one of the nicest toby figures made, with a particularly interesting face and moustache, etc.. A really unusual and different subject and look vs. the typical English tobys. He is wearing a heavy pinned cape AND THE GREATEST LARGE 3-CORNER HAT. Great wig curls and EVEN HIS BLACK MASK I...S AT THE READY ABOVE HIS EYES. And the handle is A GREAT, DETAILED FLINTLOCK PISTOL. "Dick Turpin" is written into his back. Top is open like they all are.THIS FIGURE, DICK TURPIN, WAS A NOTORIOUS & FEARED "GENTLEMAN" HIGHWAYMAN. It has a great look overall, with the colors, the hat, the pistol, and the overall look, AND IS ONE OF THE BEST FIGURES IN THE SERIES.This was part of a large estate collection. In absolutely perfect mint condition, with no wear, chips, cracks, or repairs. As nice as the day it was made! Nice bright, natural colors. Beautiful detail in his face and clothes. Painting and the quality of the facial details are especially impressive. The colors appear a bit muted and washed out in my attached scans, due to reflection of light off the glossy ceramic finish. Colors of the piece are actually fuller, brighter and warmer than they appear, and the scans are just intended to be indicative.This piece stands 3 1/2" high and is 3 1/2" wide x 4 1/2" deep. If you are familiar with Doultonproducts and Toby Jugs specifically you will appreciate how beautiful, wellmade, and DETAILED this is!!! A GREAT GIFT !!! See my other Toby listings.
