Description
A classic Royal Doulton milk jug in the enduring Blue Willow pattern — deep cobalt transfer decoration on a soft white ceramic body, with a practical form that doubles as a display piece.
The Blue Willow pattern is one of the most widely recognised and collected transferware designs in the English ceramic tradition, its romantic Chinese-inspired landscape of pagodas, bridges and willow trees having graced English tables since the late 18th century. This Royal Doulton milk jug carries the pattern with characteristic depth of colour, the rounded body, shaped handle and pouring spout giving it a satisfying functional form. The quality of the transfer print and the weight of the ceramic body are consistent with Royal Doulton's reliable standard of production.
