A Royal Doulton produced toby jug in the form of the “Pearly King”.
The handle is fashioned as a yellow scarf with buttons. He was issued between 1987 and 1991.
The Pearly King is the head spokesman for the street-market costers of London. Over a hundred years ago, his chief mandate was as a go-between for the costers and the London police. Today the Pearlies have turned their energy to raising money for charity.
