Frog Footman character jug prototype produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, in 2000 for a proposed Alice in Wonderland Series. The Frog Footman is one of the two footmen who Alice encounters in Wonderland. The Frog Footman responds to a knock at the Duchess' door to discover the Queen of Hearts' Fish Footman. With a flourish the Fish Footman delivers a large invitation to the Frog Footman for the Ugly Duchess to join the Queen for a friendly game of croquet. The two footmen bow low to each other, getting their powdered curly hair entangled. The handle represents the Fish Footman delivering the invitation from the Queen to the Frog Footman.
