ROYAL DOULTON TALL JUG/PITCHER. ITEM: Royal Doulton tall jug or pitcher. It is part of the Series Ware collection and of course it is English made. This pattern is called “Egyptian A-Pottery”, relating to early Egyptian figures. DESCRIPTION: The jug has straight sides and a flared top, sitting on a round base. It has a lime green trim around the rim and down the sides of the handle. The series is described in Louise Irvine’s Royal Doulton Series Ware reference books, (Vol 4, Pages 20-22). The jug has a continuous pattern of various figures around the middle of the jug body. The scenes depicted are: Scene 1 “Enthroned man wearing a serpent head-dress holding vase”; Scene 11 “Two men with their arms raised in homage”; Scene 3 “Woman with a slave holding her train”; and Scene 12 “Man carrying a vase”. Note that the photos provided form part of the description. Any shiny spots or white marks are from the camera shots, not blemishes on the item. Colours of grey, brown, green, salmon, black on a cream ground. MEASUREMENTS: 16cms high, 10.5cms in diameter across the top from the spout, not including the handle. The base is approx 9cms in diameter. CONDITION: No chips or cracks. Does have age related glaze crazing, commensurate with its age. Green trim is is good condition without wear. Couple of pieces of clay under the glaze, part of the manufacturing process. Small fleck of paint worn from the handle. Overall, In good vintage condition in my opinion. MARKINGS: The bottom of the jug has a black Royal Doulton lion and crown back stamp. Also, the registration number, “D3419″ (I think). AGE: Ms Irvine states the pattern was produced from 1911 and withdrawn by 1929. This makes the item between 90 and 110 years old. I suggest it was produced during the 1910’s given that the pattern registration number D3419 was the earliest used for this series. GENERAL COMMENTS: Lovely collectable from a by-gone era. This piece of Royal Doulton is in very good condition, especially considering its age. A quality piece in good condition and becoming harder to find. Track Page Views With. Auctiva’s FREE Counter.
