#1332 Alice In Wonderland Royal Doulton Mad Hatter Toby Jug with mouse handle.

No chips or cracks 8”Royal Doulton, a renowned British manufacturer, has a long history of producing high-quality ceramics, including their iconic Toby Jugs and Character Jugs. These collectible pieces often depict literary characters, historical figures, and everyday people, characterized by their detailed sculpting and hand-painted finishes. The Mad Hatter, a beloved character from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," has been a popular subject for ceramic artists due to his eccentric and memorable appearance.

The "10/6" on the hat is a direct reference to the Mad Hatter's profession as a hatter, as "10/6" was the price of a hat in shillings and pence during the Victorian era. The inclusion of the dormouse, another key character from the story, further enhances the narrative depicted on the jug. These jugs were produced in various sizes and editions, making them sought-after by collectors worldwide.
