Pair of Doulton Lambeth Vases, signed and dated 1882

A pair of Doulton Lambeth Vases of elegant Islamic inspired shape, the slender baluster bodies with broadly spreading feet and narrow necks with a wide rim, covered overall with bands of raised moulded decoration with repeating stylised leaf and circle patterns on alternating blue and coffee glaze grounds, the countersunk bases unglazed with impressed marks.

The Doulton factory began production in 1815, first at Vauxhall and later moving to Lambeth. In 1882 it opened an additional factory at Burslem, Stoke on Trent in the centre of the English pottery. Known at first mainly for utilitarian works it began to develop decorative wares more extensively in the 1860s and soon gained a reputation for its distinctive designs. As the factory mark indicates, these pieces were made at the Lambeth factory and the absence of ‘England’ below it indicates that it dates to before 1891. The Lambeth ware pieces were often marked with the date of manufacture, here 1882 which is fully consistent with a design inspired by Eastern influence. The artist’s mark, ‘B’ with a tail, which appears on both pieces, is for Alice L Burlton, whose signature can be seen on other pieces of a similar date with similar raised decoration. The other three markings ‘B’ and ‘OO’ presumably indicate the pattern number.

In general, Doulton designs were often both striking an experimental and this pair of vases is an example of their work at its best, a striking form combined with skilful decoration making them true collector’s items.
