Collectible Royal Doulton large character jug, Henry VIII, by Eric Griffiths.

Henry VIII was modelled on Henry Tudor (1491 - 1547), the King of Great Britain from 1509 to 1547. His infamous life is well known, he married 6 times in an attempt to produce a male heir to the throne. He was excommunicated by the Pope for divorce and founded the Church of England.

This jug is the large size character jug (head only as opposed to the full body toby jugs) produced by Royal Doulton for over 60 years and are highly collectible.
