Overview
This striking English earthenware creamer features a faceted octagonal form decorated with hand-enameled pink floral clusters set against a rich cobalt ground. The vibrant chintz-style body is framed by crisp, geometric black-and-white chevron borders and a bold, angular green handle characteristic of early Art Deco design.
Story
Manufactured in Staffordshire during the roaring twenties, pattern D4360 represents Royal Doulton's bold transition into Jazz Age modernism. It marries traditional Victorian floral enameling with radical Art Deco geometry.
Maker / Origin
Royal Doulton was granted its royal warrant by King Edward VII in 1901, solidifying its place as one of Britain's premier ceramic manufacturers. During the 1920s, the pottery's designers pushed boundaries by introducing geometric shapes and vibrant, stylized pattern work that captured the energy of modern art movements.
Condition & Value
The creamer presents well overall with vivid glaze colors. Minor surface wear and fine crazing consistent with age are visible, along with minor glaze rubbing along the rim joint. Good condition overall helps preserve collector interest.
