Royal Doulton Art Nouveau stoneware jardiniere on pedestal - 7404

A superb example of Natural Foliage Ware with a green background: much of the output is less striking as it had a rust brown background. Doulton made these from 1884, having been first announced in that year in the Gardeners' Chronicle. The leaves are pressed into the soft clay, carefully removed and the item is then fired and the coloured pigments and glazes are then added. The jardiniere has the mark of Ellen Palmer who worked at Doultons from 1879-1910. This dates the pedestal as being between 1902, when Doulton became 'Royal' Doulton and 1910 when Ellen Palmer left

The jardiniere has had restoration for chips around the base, where it has been lowered onto the pedestal, and has a firing cracks on the rim.
