Catherine Howard character jug modeled by Peter A. Gee and produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, between 1978-1989. Catherine Howard (1521-1542) was only nineteen when she became Henry VIII's fifth wife in 1540, only sixteen days after the nullification of the King's marriage to Anne of Cleves. Catherine seems to have encouraged the aging Henry to enjoy life once more as she took great pleasure in the festive life at Court. She failed to appreciate her position as Queen unfortunately for her. Her pre-marital promiscuity supposedly continued into wedlock and when her indiscretions were reported to the King, her deception and dishonor could not be tolerated. She was dragged screaming from Hampton Court Palace as she tried to reach Henry to plead for her life. The Haunted Gallery is a ghostly reminder of this fateful episode and in February, 1542, at the Tower of London, Catherine Howard was beheaded. An executioner's axe forms the handle of the jug. This is the large size. A small size (D6692) and miniature size (D6693) were also produced.
