We have two plates with similar patterns on them. Another item bought at local markets. It's Royal Doulton and a bit crazed. Nevertheless an interesting jug. Is it worth anything though?
Corinthian jug | ||

Rather than Corinthian, the shape of the jug is just 'Corinth', I think.
The series is called 'Athens'.
That crazing on the bottom is pretty ugly, no?
"Royal Doulton introduced its Athens Series in 1910, it had a relatively short production run being discontinued in 1928. The 12 scenes that make up this series were drawn by the artist Walter Nunn. The scenes are groups of figures depicted in classical Grecian garb. These scene can appear in there entirety or cut down and applied as required. Scenes 7 and 10 consist of the most figure and these are the most likely to appear broken up. D3302 is the only pattern number recorded against the series."
