Balloon Lady character jug prototype - Royal Doulton 1982

Balloon Lady prototype character jug designed by Leslie Harradine and modeled by Graham Tongue, and produced by Royal Doulton in 1982 as part of a proposed Balloon Sellers Collection. The Balloon Seller could often be found wandering the streets of nineteenth century London selling balloons to passersby. One of many street vendors vying for Londoners' coins, they would shout "Balloons for sale!" at the bustling throng. With their bright array of colors, the balloon street sellers became magnets for every boy and girl, as well as often for their parents. Nothing can compete with the delight of the Victorian street urchin who was fortunate enough to grasp the string of his first balloon handed to him by the Balloon Seller. This Balloon Lady is a part of a Balloon Seller family. Multicolored balloons form the handle of the jug.
