Royal Doulton Bird of Paradise 'C' Series

Doulton kept their block printing department open for many years after most firms had closed theirs because of cost and a feeling that the technique was obsolete. From 1900 onwards, Doulton designers had begun to exploit the process realising that it was capable of printing broad areas of vibrant colour which came to epitomize art deco style. This striking rack plate from the Bird of Paradise 'C' series is a fine example of the technique.

Losol Ware by Keeling and Co

Keelings introduced this range of printed and hand enamelled wares around 1900 and it soon became very popular. These old decorating techniques were given a contemporary treatment and have now come to epitomise a certain style of Edwardian pottery. Here is a fine jug which is very representative of the range.

Royal Winton Primula

Primula was first produced in the green colourway in 1933 and over the next couple of years several other colour ranges were added. All have a crispness and brightness; the green, cream or beige leaves providing the perfect foil for the pretty enamelled flowers. The several colour ranges mix and match beautifully. Below are two pieces in different colourways.
