Royal Doulton bottle form Vase decorated with flowering lotus, early 20th Century

A Doulton Vase of bottle form the compressed globular body with a short shaped flaring foot, the slender neck slightly tapering towards the top flaring rim, the moulded decoration comprising four lotus flowers on a dark blue ground, the neck glazed in mottled aubergine and the top interior with a matching blue glaze. The unglazed base in biscuit brown and with a stamped mark reading 'Royal Doulton England' below a crown and a lion, an impressed pattern number 8054 and with stamped initials 'h' 'd' for the artist E Violet Hayward and a scratch mark.

The Doulton pottery originally had its first factory in Lambeth, London. Set up in 1815 by John Doulton, who is rumoured to have spent his life savings of £100 in starting the business, the firm concentrated on making pipes and utilitarian works. But in the 1880s the Company moved to Staffordshire and began making fine bone china tableware and decorative items. The pottery was located in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent and has manufactured high quality ceramics and porcelains ever since, receiving a Royal Warrant in 1901.

This piece is typical of the glazed pottery pieces made in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A muted palette of colours was used and a variety of forms created with many artists taking a hand in the decoration. Most of the pieces are signed, as here. The pattern number indicates a date after 1894, but the Royal Warrant mark means a dating in the early 1900s. Perhaps a timing in the Edwardian era (1901-1910) is the most likely.

This vase is an excellent example of the creative designs which Doulton produced. As often, there is a slight Oriental influence but the style and design are unmistakeable.

Size: Ht 25cm, Base diam 6cm
Weight: 760 grams
Date: 1910
Condition: Excellent condition with no damage or restoration. The glaze has fired slightly matt which may well be intentional.
