Character jugs continue to attract auction goers

Royal Doulton character jugs continue to occupy the glass cabinets of Young’s Auctions saleroom prior to next week’s special sale when some 200 are expected to go under the hammer in a major special sale for the auction house.

The auction will be held from 9.30am on Friday at 229 Camberwell Road, East Hawthorn.

Antique furniture is another feature – an inlaid leather desk a promising drawcard – and estate jewellery always proves a big attraction.

Clocks (an antique nightwatchman’s timepiece in a leather case is an excellent example) and art – particularly coloured engravings, limited edition prints and paintings – should also interest auction goers.
