Doulton Burslem Vase with Frogs Mice & Birds

I have an interesting Doulton Burslem china vase with Frogs Mice & Birds, I would like to share.

Photo of Doulton Burslem Vase showing frogs

The vase is stamped on the base Doulton Burslem with the coronet on top and England underneath which I have been able to find out dates it between 1891 -1902.

The number 356 is also inscribed on the base. There are no other marks.

Size is 17cm in height and condition is very good with no damage.

I have been searching the web trying to find a similar example of Doulton Burslem wares in order to find out a value but have been unsuccessful.

• The first photo shows one side of the Doulton Burslem vase that has 2 frogs playing flutes.
• Photo 2 shows a mouse running.
• Photo 3 shows the top that is in the form of 2 eagles or phoenix heads.

Water can be poured through the hollowed birds beaks.

I was wondering if something like this with the frogs and mouse could have been influenced by George Tinworth?

I would love to know more about it as it certainly appears to be a fun piece, certainly away from the mould of the traditional Doulton Burslem pieces I've seen.

I would appreciate any thoughts or comments.
Thanks, Peter
