This book is a "must have " for Royal Doulton collectors.
Collectors of Toby and Character Jugs will find this book invaluable in providing detailed information on the history,catalogue,vendors and fellow enthusiasts of these Royal Doulton products. My own collection of Character Jugs started when I was given a small "Dick Turpin" jug by my Grandmother, various others were added ,from visits to flea markets,car boot sales, antique fairs and now on the Internet. As the collection expanded,my curiosity about these unusual "characters" grew with it. The Charlton Standard Catalogue answered all the questions! This book provides all the relevant information collectors or dealers will need to buy and sell items sensibly. Current market values are given, with examples of Special Editions, Rare items and precise details of identification marks/colour variations of each listing, Each entry has a photograph and most have illustrations of the backstamps which provide such invaluable information. Armed with the depth of knowledge which this book provides,even the novice collector will appear expert. It is of particular value to those who trade on the internet,which the author acknowledges as a major influence on the collectable market,by enabling them to identify precisely what they intend to buy or exchange.
