Royal Doulton The Poacher Character Jug Table Lighter Ronson Insert 1954 England

A charming vintage table lighter featuring the iconic Royal Doulton character jug "The Poacher",
originally designed by Harry Fenton and issued in 1954.
This piece combines the hand-painted ceramic craftsmanship of Royal Doulton (England) with a Ronson butane lighter insert made in Woodbridge, N.J., USA.

The jug depicts a sly country poacher with a fish as the handle — a classic example of Doulton's humorous character ware.
Base marked:

"The Poacher" Copr. 1954 Doulton & Co. Limited / Made in England
plus multiple registered design numbers.

The lighter is stamped "RONSON Woodbridge N.J. U.S.A." on the underside.
The flint has been removed, so the lighter is untested, but overall excellent cosmetic condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs.

A wonderful collectible for Royal Doulton, Ronson, or mid-century tobacciana enthusiasts.
