Royal Doulton Dickens Ware
This year sees the bicentenary of Dickens' birth. He's perhaps remembered most for his characters, many becoming infamous because of their villainy. Charles Noke was a great admirer and used these characters as the theme for one of the first Royal Doulton series. Introduced in 1908, the series was augmented in 1912 for Dickens' centenary. Many items carry Noke's signature, though most of the drawings are close to the original 'Kyd' illustrations. For more Dickens Ware see Premier Antiques
