One of the most sought-after jugs in Royal Doulton's Williamsburg Series, The Apothecary is the definitive pharmacy collectible — a stern Georgian druggist whose handle is a mortar, pestle and mixing spatula. The modeling on this example is exceptional, with rosy cheeks, wire-fine wig curls and a deep cobalt mortar that photographs beautifully on a shelf or in a display case. Perfect for pharmacists, medical-antique collectors, and Doulton completists, and a natural gift for a pharmacy school graduation or retirement.
