It was the 1930's when Doulton designer Charles Noke conceived of focusing more on the face of a character that Royal Doulton coined the name "Characterjug" as a way to differentiate their jugs from the traditional style of toby jug. At the urging of designer Max Henk in the 1950's, the handles began to play an important part of theaestheticsof the jug. It was then plain handles started to be replaced with decorative handles which portrayed something relevant to the character depicted.Up for offer is one of Royal Doulton's more traditional toby jugs. The character portrayed is Falstaff. From the Shakespearean play Henry IV-Part I. Falstaff was a fictional larger than life jovial character that always looked on the brighter side of life and used his cunning and intellect to influence people. This jug features the overweight Falstaff in a seated position. He is dressed in black leggings with tall brown boots. He has a large burgundy shirt with black buttons and a matching burgundy overcoat and feather plume coming off his black tri-corn hat. There are some light blue highlights in the burgundy paint.

A brief history of the Toby and Royal Doulton Character Mugs' origins......
The first Toby jugs were created in the 1700's. The first one known was in the form of a man sitting down wearing the traditional clothing of the time period (a tricorn hat, stock around his neck, breeches and buckled shoes.) The figure was normally created with a tankard, or large drinking glass made of pewter or silver with a single handle and lid. After this original figure there were creations of other stereotypical figures like a convict, miner, and a drunk parson or preacher.
The people given credit for creating the first Tobies as we know them were a father and son team from Staffordshire in England, though they were a far cry from the very vibrant and vividly colored ones we see today.
Doulton began making Toby jugs in the traditional manner dating back to 1815 but it wasn't until the 1920's when they added color. This inspired one of the Doulton artists named Charles Noke, to think about the Toby design in a different way. His vision had the jugs being more vibrant and stylish and included using only the head and shoulders of the character instead of the whole body. As inspiration for characters he used English literature, history, and legend. It was 1934 before the first of these character jugs was put into production. The first Doulton character was John Barleycorn.
Due to the success of John Barleycorn other mugs were soon to follow like: Old Charley, The Night Watchman, Sairey Gamp, Parson Brown and Dick Turpin. It was two years before a mug was created based on a real person. The first real person who had a mug created in their likeness was by Doulton artist Herry Fenton of John Peel, a famed huntsman who was immortalized in the song "Do Ye Ken John Peel"
The most common feature of Royal Doulton character jugs is their handles. The first jugs created by Doulton had plain handles. Through the years they became much more decorative. For example Dick Turpin, famed highway man had a gun for a handle, the jailor had a keys for his handle. It was in the 1950's when Max Henk became involved in their production that they gained even more creative and significant importance.
