Doulton Lambeth Vases and Vessels
British
The name Doulton Lambeth is widely known to collectors of British ceramics — it refers to the vases, mugs, bowls and jugs decorated by the likes of artisans such as George Tinworth, Eliza Simmance, Edith Lupton and others for Royal Doulton's pioneering art pottery studio, which was established in the Lambeth section of suburban London by 1871.
Royal Doulton was founded in 1815 by John Doulton, Martha Jones and John Watts. It was initially established as Jones, Watts and Doulton and later traded under Doulton and Watts. The firm produced utilitarian stoneware, decorative objects, drain pipes and other goods and vessels. Amid the Victorian era’s rising concern for hygiene, food safety and sanitation, the company flourished. In 1854, it rebranded as Doulton and Co., colloquially referred to as Doulton Ware.
The firm took over a factory in Staffordshire, in northern England — the traditional home of British ceramics manufacturing — to produce tableware. Around the same time, Henry Doulton — John Doulton's son — opened an art pottery studio in Lambeth, where its Aesthetic Movement-era vases, urns and other forms were decorated with painted scenic images, flowers or historical motifs thanks to its collaborations with students at the nearby Lambeth School of Art.
Taking a cue from the venerable Meissen porcelain workshops in Germany, Doulton artisans began crafting figurines modeled on characters from literature and theater. The firm also helped popularize Toby Jugs and other “character mugs” — handled cups shaped like the heads of figures from folklore and popular culture.
In the late 1870s, Doulton bought the earthenware manufacturer Pinder, Bourne and Company and purchased a factory in Burslem in 1882. King Edward VII granted the factory his Royal Warrant in 1901.
Doulton was recognized with the Queen's Award for Technical Achievement in 1966, and the firm acquired Minton two years later. It eventually became a part of WWRD Holdings Limited (Waterford Crystal, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton), which is now owned by the Fiskars Corporation.
The Doulton Lambeth pottery for sale on 1stDibs includes serveware, decorative objects and more.

Rare Pair of Doulton Lambeth Vases with Striking Golden & Enameled Flower Decor
By Doulton Lambeth
Located in Lisse, NL
Wonderful pair of handcrafted 19th century vases.
When it comes to truly stylish and beautiful pottery nothing is as attractive as the pieces that were being created in Europe around the turn of the century. The designs, the colors and the quality reveil that both the designers and the potters in those days truly were 'on the top of their game'. And people who could afford those striking pieces, were able to decorate their homes in the most beautiful way you can imagine. In this day and age we sometimes see new interiors (also of the 'well to do') and because everything is machine made they lack both quality and beauty and because of that some places just don't come alive. They lack the soul that true artisans are capable of creating in their pieces. That attention to quality and detail is exactly what makes this rare and striking pair of vases stand...
