$475.00

This extraordinary, highly sought, very rare, andoriginal release piece, appears in the Royal Doulton seriesUnder the Greenwood Tree. This is the large jardinière planter, which offersa wonderful pictorial ofthe special moment when Friar Tuck joins Robin and his Merry Men. It even includes the illustrationThe Fall of an Arrow. Inside the rim is the hand painted inscription: \"The Jovial Friar Joins Robin Hood\" and on the reverse side the inscription reads: \"Robin Hood the King of Archers\". As customary with fine porcelain production, this was a serieslimited to the number of years Royal Doulton produced this pattern beginningin 1914, as well as limitingthe productionof individual pieces over the years, until it was permanently retired in 1967. Mind you - this jardinière has survived 2 World Wars in Great Britain- a remarkable feat itself.But sadly awound was sustained: see photo # 8... and so this thin inside splinter appearedwhen it was purchased from an antique store in London in 1970.It could be easily repaired since it originates on the rim; and is approximately 5\" long.It can not be seen from the outside. The colors are bold and bright, and there is a delicate all-over crazing.There are zero chips, nicks, repairs etc. anywhere else on this lovely piece.
