Antique 1886 DOULTON BURSLEM Bud Vase 7” Porcelain Gilt Little Girl Feeding Bird For Sale

SCARCE 1886 DOULTON BURSLEM MINIATURE VASE

This listing features a Doulton Burslem offer base with a very special history. It has the 1886 back stamp with the foundational interlocking D mark and a crown with other impressed numbers and marks. Items with this mark were only printed in 1886 to commemorate Doulton's appointment as one of the potters for His Royal Highness, Edward VII, the Prince of Wales. This vase is not only charming but quite rare in the collectible world of English pottery. Research found no others like it available.

It measures just under 7 inches tall by 2 inches in diameter at the base which has a short pedestal. The pedestal and rim are gilt and in very good condition. The overall condition of this vase is terrific with a little crazing around the pedestal, a drip of glaze on the underside of the rim, and a few very minor marks. The decoration is beautiful transferware in unfazed, crisp detail of a little girl feeding and playing with birds.
