Americana
The Fortune collection of character jugs contained many rarities as well as complete sets of Americana, including the Antagonists, Wild West, Presidents, and Williamsburg series. One of the character jugs that has eluded many collectors is the Cabinet Maker of Williamsburg D7010, which was issued in 1995 after the original set was discontinued. The limited edition jug was launched at the anniversary celebrations of the Royal Doulton International Collectors Club held in Williamsburg in 1995.
