Find rare and recently commissioned Character Jugs

Royal Doulton, the famous British china company, used the name 'character jug' to describe the face pitchers that they began producing in 1934 which are now porcelain collectibles. The jugs portray characters from all walks of life, including fictional and real life personalities. We commission exclusive Royal Doulton character jugs from the company, including portraits of American Presidents and Christmas characters, notably Santa Claus.

Character jugs are very collectible and some early issues are now hard to find. We specialize in locating rare models and one of a kind prototypes for collectors. We also stock an extensive selection of current and recently retired jugs, including limited editions and new annual issues, such as the 'Character Jug of the Year'.

These are amongst the most popular collectibles produced by this famous British china company and we deal in all the retired and current designs, including limited editions, unique prototypes and colorways. Pascoe and Company also commissions exclusive Royal Doulton jugs direct from the factory. Recent special editions include a collection of Christmas characters and a new series of American Presidents.

Hundreds of different characters from literature, legend and real life have been introduced to the range of Royal Doulton jugs since the 1930s and we have the most complete inventory in the world. Collectors tend to specialize in one of the main sizes - large, small or miniature - but there are also tiny jugs, just 1 ¼ inches tall, which have been popular little gifts since the 1940s.
