HN4442 Royal Doulton figure Cherish Shakespeare It is marked QUART and

It is marked QUART and on the other side of the handle VR 352 (which was the locale CHECK mark for Kent used from 1879 I understand - so the "then" Government equivalent to Weights and Measures has done a check that the measure was accurate) - which only means it was checked at that time - my research indicates the piece was a design used from the William IV era onwards - so most likely an 1840s piece

Inscribed across the base edge of the jug is Micawber The Ever Expectant

A few lines of glaze crazing noted which only visible on underside on the white
