Unique Rare Royal Doulton Hot Water Bottle Guy

Here we have a unique special order hot water bottle made by Royal Doulton. Images of a donkey and Christmas trees may point to a festive present. I have sold hot water bottles for almost 50 years and have never seen another. Similar in style to the Baby examples which were a production piece but this is most definitely a one off. No damage or repairs, just a tiny nibble to the screw thread stopper.Early 20th century.
