Q: A relative has a very nice Royal Doulton Character Jug of King Henry VIII. It has the number D6642 on the base as well as the Royal Doulton mark.

She has had it about 20 years. What is it worth?

Mr W.

A. This particular Toby Jug is one of a huge range done by Royal Doulton, and it was introduced in 1975 and has been in production ever since. Current value is around £50 to £60. The value of these character jugs can accelerate quite quickly once they have been discontinued but those in continuous production stay fairly static.
