A Small Toby Jug featuring Aramis, from Royal Doulton's Three Musketeers Collection - Designed by Max Henk. This design was made between 1955 and 1990, so it's difficult to date precisely.
This particular design is quite hard to come by and often demands very high prices!

There's also a handwritten '68', probably referring order to the specific artist who painted it. We've no idea why it warranted so many registration numbers!
The colours are still rich and there are no cracks, crazing or chips. A really cute collectible item.
"Have nothing in your houses you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful"
William Morris
At Know to be Beautiful, we believe that beautiful things warm the heart and make a house a home. And the world is full of beautiful things!
Over the decades artists and craftsmen have used our limited natural resources to make wonderful items. Once something has been loved and used it often makes it more beautiful, so, rather than always making new things, we like finding a new home for something that has already been made.
We aim for elegant packaging, to make classy gifts, but we try not to go over the top with plush boxes that are too good to throw away, but of no actual use!
