Royal Doulton Series Ware

Royal Doulton Series Ware 1910 - 1935

Series ware was the brainchild of Charles J. Noke who began working for Doulton in 1889 and later became Art Director. Decorated with popular imagery and aimed at the gift and collectors' markets, by 1910 the ranges had grown to include characters from literature, history and sport, to name but a few. Some series were only in production a short while (making them scarce today), while others continued for many years and underwent various changes (which is why one series can have several pattern book or reference numbers).
