In 1940, Royal Doulton decided to produce six tiny character jugs which measured approximately 1 ¼" in height. After World War II, they decided to continue with this collection and introduced six more. These jugs have coined the term 'The Original Twelve Tinies' and are highly collectible due to their short production time. The tinies required expert decorating skills, and the artists had to balance the tiny jugs on the end of their little fingers. The Twelve Tinies were designed by three of the best known Royal Doulton Designers: Leslie Harradine, Harry Fenton and Charles Noke.
