Inferior Materials During the same period, Doulton & Watts introduced Toby jugs, a jug design that depicts a man clutching a pint of ale. The Large Character King Henry VIII Toby Jug was an especially striking design. Although Doulton & Watts didn’t realize it at the time, Toby jugs were setting the stage for the early 20th century Royal Doulton figurines. Other fake figurines may have the correct measurements.
