Why the D6998 is a Must-Have

Issued in the late 1990s as part of a special commemorative series, the D6998 is a "Large" size jug that commands attention on any shelf. The double-handle design was a difficult technical feat for the Royal Doulton potters, making these editions much rarer than the single-handle versions. For collectors of English Toby Jugs or fans of folklore, this limited-run piece represents the pinnacle of Royal Doulton’s character series.

The Perfect Folklore Pairing

The John Barleycorn #D5327 features a handle fashioned as a gnarled wooden branch, which visually echoes the Sherwood Forest setting of your Robin Hood. Together, they represent the rustic charm and folklore of old England.
