Country Manor Butler character jug or creamer modeled by Shane Ridge and produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, in a 2003 limited edition of 1,500. The manor butler greets guests at the door, assists in the planning of events and dinner parties, oversees table settings, and serves drinks and food. They will also manage the wine cellar and may have responsibility over other staff. The Bunnykins Country Manor Tea Set is based on characters from the household of a typical English country manor at the beginning of the twentieth century. Royal Doulton Bunnykins tableware and figurines are popular ceramic designs manufactured as nursery dishes and collectible figurines. It originated with artwork by Sister Mary Barbara Bailey, the daughter of Cuthbert Bailey, general manager of Doulton during the 1930s. Sister Mary Barbara provided illustrations to the designers of Royal Doulton. The butlers left arm, a bottle of champagne and champagne bucket form the handle of this jug.
