"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" - these words made cinema history, and in 1984, Royal Doulton immortalized the man behind them in one of their most intriguing character jugs ever created. The Clark Gable piece wasn't just another addition to their celebrity collection - it became an instant collector's item when production mysteriously stopped after fewer than 100 pieces left the factory.
From the archives of Royal Doulton, we’re thrilled to present an extraordinary opportunity for collectors: the Catherine of Aragon Prototype Jug, featuring a rare scroll handle. This large-size jug was designed by Royal Doulton modeler Alan Maslankowski and was made with a scroll handle which differs from the production version which featured the tower of Kimbolton Castle, making it a unique find.
We are proud to present an extraordinary piece of Royal Doulton history—the exclusive Santa Claus Prototype Jug with a Christmas cracker handle, a design that was never put into mass production. Personally selected by Ed Pascoe from the iconic Royal Doulton Archive, this jug is a rare find for the dedicated collector.
From Royal Doulton to the raw beauty of African ceramics, we've expanded our legacy of fine collectibles. At Pascoe Gallery, we directly partner with Africa's master artists, bringing their extraordinary ceramic works to discerning collectors worldwide. Each piece tells a story of tradition, wilderness, and artistic excellence.
