Graduated set of three Royal Doulton Harvest Pattern Jugs, early C20th
A graduated set of salt glaze earthenware jugs, each of compressed globular form with straight necks, a pinched spout and a strap handle, ribbed with a leaf terminal, the bodies glazed in contrasting fields of matt mustard and glossy brown with moulded decoration in cream depicting scenes of rural life including hunting and drinking, the base unglazed and with an impressed mark for Royal Doulton, the pattern number ‘2892’ on two of the jugs and on the largest jug the artist’s mark ‘a’.While this model, often called the ‘harvest pattern’, is found quite often, it is very unusual to see a graduated set of three, all matching. The form of the mark, where the lion does not sit above a crown, was used between 1922 and 1927 which gives us the dating here. The largest jug carries the letter ‘a’ which was a decorator’s mark and stands for Louisa Ayling. Perhaps she worked on all three, but this must remain a guess although the quality of the work on all three is quite consistent producing a highly decorative and attractive ensemble.
