Royal Doulton "The Lumberjack" Large Character Jug D6610

A Mid-Century Masterpiece of English Character Art

"The Lumberjack" (D6610) is one of the most ruggedly detailed designs in the Royal Doulton Character Jug series. This is the Large version, standing an impressive 7 inches tall by 6-1/2 inches wide, offering the scale necessary to appreciate the intricate sculptural work. Modeled by Max Henk and introduced in 1967 (with the 1966 copyright), this piece features a robust woodsman with a unique tree-trunk handle and a detailed axe head integrated into the design. It is a quintessential example of the "Doulton & Co" heritage that collectors look for when sourcing authentic English porcelain.

Pristine Condition with Detailed Craftsmanship

This specific D6610 specimen is in EXCELLENT condition. It has been meticulously inspected to ensure it is free of any chips, cracks, or repairs. Most importantly for Royal Doulton collectors, this jug shows no signs of crazing, preserving the smooth, high-gloss finish of the glaze. The bottom is fully backstamped with the official Royal Doulton hallmark and the "Copr 1966" designation, certifying its authenticity. The hand-painted earth tones—from the wood grain of the handle to the rugged features of the Lumberjack—remain vibrant and true to the original 1960s production.

A Command Piece for the Discernible Collector
