GEORGE TINWORTH - a 9.25in Doulton Lambeth vase

This 9in (22.5cm) Doulton Lambeth vase dates from the period after 1891, and shows some of the later styles of George Tinworth – it has applied floral motifs, and the use of green glazes. His obsession with the earlier seaweed design has not disappeared, but has been significantly modified.

ELIZA SIMMANCE - an 11.5in important Doulton Lambeth vase by Eliza Simmance - 219

A bold heavy Doulton Lambeth 11.5in vase, date 1885, with the same background of 'cracked ice' that Eliza used on her Siliconware vases.

This vase shows a variance from the normal Doulton output that is a testament to the creativity of Eliza Simmance.

FRANK A BUTLER - a 7.5in Doulton Lambeth jardiniere - 165

This lovely Doulton Lambeth 7.5in (9cm) tall jardinière is, for Frank Butler, a restrained item. Designed to hold flowers, perhaps Frank Butler considered the swirling curves of plants would benefit from the geometric patterns rather than his more flamboyant incised shapes.

ARTHUR B BARLOW - a 7.5in Doulton Lambeth jug - 692

This little 7.5in (18cm) Doulton Lambeth jug by Arthur Barlow shouts about the influence of George Tinworth. Made in 1873, it shows on the one hand, that Arthur Barlow worked with George Tinworth, and that on the other hand, Barlow had already developed his own individuality. The swirling leaf pattern has a freedom of expression that is missing in Tinworth’s seaweed designs, but the decoration of the leaves still owes much to the influence of his mentor. A classic piece of Doulton’s early history in decorative products.
