6 Antique 1910 Royal Doulton Dinner Plates H323 Blue Flower Baskets & Swags SET
6 Antique 1910 Royal Doulton Dinner Plates H323 Blue Flower Baskets & Swags. As the song goes, we may never be royals, but you CAN have heirloom quality Royal Doulton dinnerware for that feeling of posh living! They are bright white fine porcelain with a dainty design of blue flower baskets filled with hand-painted pink roses, scattered roses and blue swags, overlaid with a fine, net-like pattern of gilding in circles and short lines. The rim and center has a gold-bordered blue band with fine white detail.
The gold on the edge rims is in remarkably good condition and intact. The delicate gold "netting" overlay is worn just on the curve where it rounds over to the center. Made by the historic Royal Doulton potteries, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent. The initialing on the back indicates these were designed by Richard Allen and produced between 1910 and 1914, making them at least 110 years old!(See photos and excerpt from Michael Perry, _British Pottery_) There are also differing impressed numerals of unknown significance on the backs. In very, very good antique condition, with no chips or cracks; there is wear to the gold pattern that overlays the rest on the raised area adjoining the inner circle. The wear seems commensurate with their age and light use, with light scratches from silverware on the surface.
