Royal Doulton Bird of Paradise 'C' Series

Doulton kept their block printing department open for many years after most firms had closed theirs because of cost and a feeling that the technique was obsolete.

This striking rack plate from the Bird of Paradise 'C' series is a fine example of the technique. For more Royal Doulton visit my website Premier Antiques
