RARE ROYAL DOULTON KINGSWARE FLAGONSKINNER & ROOKLEATHER WAREAPPROXIMATELY 1928This rare Kingsware type Royal Doulton Skinner & Rook black simulated LeatherWare Whiskey Jug with the Nottingham Coat of Arms dates around 1928 and Measures 8 1/4\" tall. Written on the Coat of Arms is is the Latin motto:; \"VIVIT POST FUNERA VIRTUS\" which means Virtue survives death or Virtue outlives death.
Thearms were officially recognized by the College of Arms in 1614, but it is not known how long they had been in use at that time. They depict a rough, wooden cross in green, rising out of the base of a red shield, between two open crowns of gold with a similar crown round the lower limb of the cross.
The bottom of the jug reads: \"ROYAL DOULTON FOR SKINNER & ROOK 8016\".
Skinner & Rook was an importer wine and spirits(particularly scotch for which this flagon was probably made)importer in Nottingham during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
From 1928, the rare Skinner & Rook Leather Ware flagon used to be considered one of the Royal Doulton Kingsware jugs as a result of its listing in a Doulton letter in the 1950s.. Today it is considered more for collectors of Doutlon Leatherware and was made in the Lambath factory, not the Burslem factory. Excellent overall condition but with the typical for Leather Ware wear and discoloration in the glazing as shown.

The arms were officially recognized by the College of Arms in 1614 but it is not known how long they had been in use. The crest was granted on June 10, 1898. On June 11, 1898 two forester supporters (Robin Hood?) were part of the crest (see the last picture), but they were replaced on November 3, 1908 by the present two stags.

The arms depict a rough, wooden cross in green rising out of the base of a red shield between two open crowns of gold with a similar crown around the lower limb of the cross.

The crest takes the form of a walled castle with three towers, all in their natural colors, standing upon a wreath of red and gold. The right hand tower bears a silver crescent and the left hand one a golden star. In heraldry, right and left are determined by the position of the bearer of the arms, not by the onlooker.Granted as a crest in 1898, it incorporates the design of the present City of Nottingham Seal, which has been in use since the 15thcentury, but in the seal the crescent moon and star are shown above the towers,not on them, see image below.

The supporters of the shield are two royal stags, looking outwards and standing on rough broken branches. Each stag bears an open golden crown around its neck. Befor ethe arms showed two foresters as supporters, see also the images below.
