Charming and collectible Royal Doulton “Old Salt” character jug, featuring the classic bearded sailor holding a pipe, with a mermaid handle wrapping gracefully around the side. This fine porcelain Toby Jug, model D6551, was hand painted with remarkable attention to expression, texture, and tone, capturing the personality and maritime spirit typical of Royal Doulton’s mid-20th-century production.
The piece bears the original Royal Doulton mark on the base (see photo), confirming its authenticity and date of circa 1960. In good condition, with only minimal signs of age, this is a true collector’s item that represents one of the most beloved themes from Royal Doulton’s character series.
A wonderful addition to any vintage porcelain or nautical collection.
