I bought one of these, a tiny teapot, with a chipped spout for 99p in our local antiques market last week. I absolutely love it and really enjoy pouring my tea out of it! It was in a bargain box under the stall & when I found it didn’t think it had a top but it did. I was going to use it for flowers otherwise, & if it leaked I’d have used it as a tiny plant pot. I couldn’t believe my luck when the seller found me the lid!

I don’t care about chips, I just like it. It reminds me of a rustic version of Wedgwood, with a relief pattern in a different clay. They’re so cheap I’ll gather a few more!! 🙂

At last found out where this so-called harvestware was made – in Lambeth. Bit aghast as I was buying for my Stoke-on-Trent born daughter-in-law! They were definitely not also made at Burslem, were they? Ta.

I do possess two of such miniatures about 2 &5 inches. I have not been able to identify the scratched artists marks on both of them as I feel that there was no site illustrating 2 words signatures. How ever I do appriciate your passion for such marvelous creations.Good luck.

what a joy to come across your writting on Doulton,salt glaze stone ware,I came across it by chance whilst trying to research my own piece,I think you might have started something,maybe you could start a Salt glaze appreciation society!
Being a Dorset lass,these pieces suit this part of England very well,every time i look at mine it makes me think of buxom milk maids and handsome harvest labourours,they are so very British ,sturdy ,naive ,strong and true.I also love the fact that the factory started in Vauxhall,which was country side at the time,what would Jones,Watts and Doulton think of the sprawling mass of buildings and roads that it has become?
My mug (tankard)is huge measuring 5×5 inches,and what i have discovered is that it is from the Jones,Watts ,Doulton ,Vauxhall walk period,1815-26,although you can easily recognise it as a piece of their salt glaze pottery,the whole thing is much more naive than their later work ,the figuress are much rougher,the glaze is much lighter and more basic looking,the handle has not been put on properly,its basicaly completly on the piss! and for me the most endearing part is that you can see in places the finger prints of the person that made it,maybe they are even Mr Doultons ,though they are far more likely to be Mr watts as he was the working potter when martha jones Husband died and left her the business.
I would very much like to send you some pictures of said mug as i know they will make you smile.
Thank you again for the lovely words you have written and for reegniting my love of this mug,it was destined for the Bay of E,but now its staying firmly put amongst the lush green rolling hills of Dorset ,unless you have started something and every one starts appreciating this wonderfull pottery ,in which case its being sold to the highest bidder!

Hi, I have two Doulton Lambeth (things) I grew up with them in the south of England calling them Jewish incense burners. As far as I know they go back to my Great Grandmother and they are now in Australia with me. I tried to have them valued here and they called them Pastille Burners and said they were priceless!!! They are 1880/91 one decorated by Jane S Hurst and the other by Eliza Simmance. As I am getting on in years now and my children are not interested I would like to sell them, but it is very hard if you don’t know what they are. I can send you a photo if it would help.
Regards
Jane Wigney

Hello,
I have a jug and three drinking mugs in Doulton Lambethware, all have silver
rims. I am intrigued as to why some have 4 hounds chasing the stag and others have 7. Is this because they were made in a different location or were they made in different years?

I collected this Doulton Lambethware over many years. Amused by the scenes you describe. Mostly I have collected the miniatures, Jugs, Colman’s mustard, loving cups, a tiny ash tray, one stamped Ponds underneath, salts, a tot cup, a drum. I have a little teapot too and three matchstriker /holders. One like a a ball, a pyramid, and one that looks like a candle holder.Vinegar, mustard and pepper pots with metal tops. I have some mugs and am currently using one. I have a Stiff mug too somewhere. I also have a large jug not marked. I havn’t bought any for ages. A few of them have silver rims. I don’t think they have ever been popular all the time I’ve collected. I’ve had enough of prices rising with items with Stanhope lenses in sewing and writing items ever since an associate published a ‘learned monograph’ on them! Can’t find any and too expensive when I do. Brown Doulton suits your house in Spitalfields better than our fifties bungalow.
