A charming and collectible piece from Royal Doulton’s iconic Seriesware line, this “The Gleaners” jug evokes nostalgic rural English life in the early 20th century. Inspired by traditional harvest scenes (often depicting a woman and children gathering leftover grain in golden fields), it captures the romantic essence of old countryside England.
**Description:**
Classic baluster-shaped pitcher with a generous looped handle, flared spout, and stable base. The body features beautifully transfer-printed scenes in soft sepia or multicolored tones: figures gleaning in expansive wheat fields under a vast sky, framed by subtle borders and foliage motifs. Fine earthenware with a glossy glaze highlights the intricate detailing and warm, earthy palette typical of the series.
**Key Features:**
- Maker: Royal Doulton, England
- Pattern: Old English Scenes – “The Gleaners” (introduced circa 1909–1937)
- Material: Fine earthenware/porcelain with transferware decoration
- Period: Early to mid-20th century
- Dimensions: Approximately 5.1" Height × 7.5" Width (handle to spout; substantial yet elegant presence)
- Backstamp: Royal Doulton England lion & crown mark with pattern details
**Condition:**
Excellent vintage condition with vibrant, unfaded transfer printing and glossy glaze intact. No chips, cracks, hairlines, or repairs. Only minimal crazing or base wear consistent with age and gentle use – displays beautifully and remains fully functional for serving or as a decorative vessel.
Perfect as a statement display on a mantel, sideboard, or kitchen dresser – or for serving beverages with vintage charm. Pairs wonderfully with cottage, farmhouse, or traditional English interiors.
A true heirloom-quality piece from Royal Doulton’s golden era – these evocative gleaning scenes are increasingly scarce in this pristine condition!
