D6592 Royal Doulton small character jug Gondolier | #1 Herend First Version: Blue Striped TopRoyal Doulton small character jug Gondolier D6592 This jug was only made for a relatively brief period during the mid 1960's and as such does not appear in the marketplace with regularity. The shallow, long craft the Gondolier pilots through the Venetian canals must be painted all black, according to ancient law. When not ferrying or serenading lovers on moonlight rides, the gondolier moors his gondola to a brightly striped pole by the waterside.
