Royal Doulton (England)

It is stoneware and would withstand the weight but from your calculation it would have held around 3.5 gallons so the 2 and E don't seems to be relate directly to the capacity.

It's about a tenth of a barrel of beer so a handy size.

SP around 20 years ago when I was a student in my 20s I worked in a remote pub on saddleworth moor and we used to serve beer from earthenware jugs/from the barrel.

It was like going back in a time warp , haven't been there since but I bet they still do it that way.

There's no better way to serve good ale

I agree, we got some connoisseur beer drinkers but I left when the landlord took me to look at his "horses", cheeky bugger

Weird. Google gave me something different.

Californians know nothing about Sarf Landan - they don't dare cross the river.

Picked a couple of Royal Doulton pieces up at auction recently. This is the first - a whisky flask. I haven't found enough online to determine it's value so any help would be appreciated. I rather like it!

This was the second item of Royal Doulton in the lot. Would these both be Lambeth?

Doulton Lambeth hand painted tile panel c1900.

It's humongous! Need more info? Size? Did it come for public place? Is it undamaged? Looks in amazing condition SP?

I imagine they are standard 6 inch square tiles and it's one of three in St. Thomas' Hospital just south of Westminster Bridge. So I don't own it.

I see. Did look like a commission. Idil world before the horrors to come. Nice photo.

can any one tell me year of production.thanks

One online with a hat and cigar listed as 1940s

Never been a great fan of Doulton, but my one example is quite pretty.
Never really managed to date it, maybe 20s? or ID the decorator, it looks like BIY or BN?

Please can you date this Royal Doulton tea ware for me?  On the base of the jug it has an embossed 93, but on the other pieces, it has 12.22 (as photo). Thank you.

Doulton have continued to make the same designs throughout the 20th century so dating can be difficult. The clue normally lies in the design of the signature mark used. This one looks to be from the 20's to early 1930's but it is very easy to chack. The pattern will have a name and a look at google images from doulton tea sets will give that to you. As for the numbers that is going to be the number for those ceramic shapes.

Thanks Mordeep. I've been searching in Google all morning and can't find it! I shall persevere though.

They made a lot of sets. Search for Doulton Burslem to cut out the Lambeth stoneware. If want you could narrow that down further by adding flower, tea set, cup. You get the idea I was blinded by similar examples

I shall have a go now. Thank you.

Looks like the 1920s-30s one to me too

Thank you. I've searched and searched for the pattern but can't find it. I've gone by that date stamp. I only paid £4 for a complete 21 piece tea set!!!

Try having a look through replacements, they have lots of images of Royal Doulton tableware patterns

A lot of these Doulton patterns from the 30s didn't have a specific pattern name.
