Royal Doulton Porcelain Production & History
The Royal Doulton factory produced a fantastic range of porcelain, pottery and stoneware and all of it was designed in-house. By 1884 Henry Doulton had setup an artists studio department and he allowed his ceramic artists to spread their artistic wings. He was soon surrounded by one of the most outstanding teams of modellers, decorators and painters in the world of ceramics.
This wonderful little xmas decoration shows just how beautiful the rewards can be when artists are allowed to make their dreams a reality. The Doulton artists / decorators marks are unfortunately, indecipherable on this piece. It is though an excellent example of the quality of work produced by Royal Doulton artists.
