About the Item

Elegantly adorned with intricate chinoiserie dragon detailing, this ceramic ochre yellow vase from Lambeth Doulton Faience exudes timeless charm and exquisite craftsmanship. Two meticulously painted dragons grace the surface, each scale meticulously marked out, with vivid blue claws and golden flames emanating from their mouths. The body scales feature meticulous application, with individual white scales tracing the belly edge and a delicate barbed red crest along the back. The vase's mouth is uniquely indented on three sides, revealing glimpses of its turquoise glazed interior, a stunning contrast to the ochre yellow exterior. Crafted from faience and decorated with enamel glazes that retain their brightness, this vase showcases exceptional artistry and attention to detail. While a small chip on the underside of the mouth rim is present, it remains unseen when the vase is displayed upright. Detailed markings underneath include a deep stamp indicating Lambeth Doulton Faience, dating the piece to the period 1872-1891, along with the series number 2495 and a possible crown symbol. Additionally, a red stamp bears the letter "S" and the numbers "178" or "198". About Doulton Ceramics: Founded in 1815 by John Doulton in Lambeth, London, the company initially produced drain pipes, pottery, and storage jars. The addition of John's son Henry to the business in 1835 marked the beginning of unprecedented success. Notably, in 1861, Queen Victoria commissioned Doulton to create a set of water filters for all her castles and palaces, following the passing of Prince Albert. Doulton's introduction of Faience in 1872, a finer-bodied ceramic painted with intricate designs, further expanded the company's offerings. Throughout the late 19th century, Doulton made significant contributions to London's architectural landscape, providing tiles and decorations for landmark buildings such as Harrods and the Savoy. In 1901, Doulton received a Royal Warrant, leading to the establishment of Royal Doulton. Today, the brand continues its legacy, boasting successful collaborations with celebrities such as Gordon Ramsay and Ellen DeGeneres.

Doulton Lambeth

The name Doulton Lambeth is widely known to collectors of British ceramics — it refers to the vases, mugs, bowls and jugs decorated by the likes of artisans such as George Tinworth, Eliza Simmance, Edith Lupton and others for Royal Doulton's pioneering art pottery studio, which was established in the Lambeth section of suburban London by 1871.

Royal Doulton was founded in 1815 by John Doulton, Martha Jones and John Watts. It was initially established as Jones, Watts and Doulton and later traded under Doulton and Watts. The firm produced utilitarian stoneware, decorative objects, drain pipes and other goods and vessels. Amid the Victorian era’s rising concern for hygiene, food safety and sanitation, the company flourished. In 1854, it rebranded as Doulton and Co., colloquially referred to as Doulton Ware.

The firm took over a factory in Staffordshire, in northern England — the traditional home of British ceramics manufacturing — to produce tableware. Around the same time, Henry Doulton — John Doulton's son — opened an art pottery studio in Lambeth, where its Aesthetic Movement-era vases, urns and other forms were decorated with painted scenic images, flowers or historical motifs thanks to its collaborations with students at the nearby Lambeth School of Art.

Taking a cue from the venerable Meissen porcelain workshops in Germany, Doulton artisans began crafting figurines modeled on characters from literature and theater. The firm also helped popularize Toby Jugs and other “character mugs” — handled cups shaped like the heads of figures from folklore and popular culture.

In the late 1870s, Doulton bought the earthenware manufacturer Pinder, Bourne and Company and purchased a factory in Burslem in 1882. King Edward VII granted the factory his Royal Warrant in 1901.

Doulton was recognized with the Queen's Award for Technical Achievement in 1966, and the firm acquired Minton two years later. It eventually became a part of WWRD Holdings Limited (Waterford Crystal, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton), which is now owned by the Fiskars Corporation.
