Royal Doulton Jugs

Question for royal doulton collectors only.

No 2 point junkie answers please.

Have any other collectors had a piece mysteriously develop a crack, usually on the base of the figurine, knowing full well that they have not knocked or damaged the piece themselves?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I know what causes it what I want to know is how many others have experienced this same problem?

This is caused by a flaw in the clay (like an air bubble). Are you able to return it to the store you bought it from, if you acquired it recently? Hope someone who collects can help you – but it is quite a well-known phenomenon in ceramics.
