D’YE KEN JOHN PEELEngland’s most famous hunter is the subject

of a popular 19th century song D’ye Ken

John Peel (ken means know). He hunted

hares as well as foxes and often chased after

his hounds on foot instead of horseback

when the going got too rough to ride. John

Peel inspired several Doulton pieces made

at the Burslem studio in the 1930s.

THE MEETTraditionally the Meet takes place at a country inn where the huntsmen gather to partake of

the stirrup cup before the chase. The colorful sight of huntsmen riding to hounds in their scarlet

coats has inspired artists for centuries. One of the most

popular hunt illustrators was Cecil Aldin, whose work was

reproduced on Doulton Series ware in the mid 1920s.

Hunting scenes were very popular with the American market

in the early 1900s and the Burslem studio produced a wide range of designs for export.

Fox hunting has been part of English rural life since the 16th century and became popular in America during colonial times. Today in the US the

sport is often referred to as fox chasing as the object is not to kill but to enjoy the thrill of the chase. Doulton collectors can also enjoy the hunt

by pursuing the elusive fox models and other great hunting designs produced by the Lambeth and Burslem studios.

Pascoe & Company

HUNTING WAREDoulton’s earliest art ware featured stag and fox hunts with relief

figures riding to hounds. Made in salt-glaze stoneware, these hunting

designs were produced at the Lambeth

Pottery for over a century from the

1840s until the 1950s and are

popular collectibles today.

VIEW HALLOO!This hunting cry signifies that the fox has been seen in the open. Foxes

in all shapes, sizes and colorways have featured in the HN collection

since the earliest years and some are as elusive as the animals

themselves, defying collectors on the hunt. The wily fox is also the

hero in the Master of Foxhounds jug, where he cunningly hides from

the hounds, dressed in hunting pink. The HN collection also features

horses, hares and hunting hounds with their quarry, including spaniels

and setters with pheasants, which can accessorize a general hunting display.

During the 1920s, many young women attended art schools to pursue

artistic careers and some of the most talented sculptors set up their own

studios where they made ceramic figurines. Thanks to Royal Doulton,

china figurines were enjoying a considerable vogue at the time and no

home was complete without some carefully chosen figurative

ornaments. Phoebe Stabler (see page 23) was very successful making

ceramic figures at her Hammersmith Studio and selling the copyright

to major manufacturers, including Royal Doulton. Other artists, such

as Charles and Nell Vyse, preferred to show their individual productions

at studio shows or special exhibitions of arts and crafts.

JOYCE BIDDERJoyce Bidder was a sculptor and miniature painter

who worked in a wide range of materials including

earthenware. She made some wonderful

ceramic figures during the 1930s at her

studio in Wimbledon, which she shared with

fellow artist Daisy Borne.

Miss Bidder studied sculpture with Stanley

Nicholson Babb, who had worked with Doulton’s

Lambeth Pottery in the early 1900s, and that is

probably how she developed her love of

ceramics. She exhibited her work regularly at

the Royal Academy in the 1930s and 40s.

CHARLES & NELL VYSECharles Vyse was born in the Potteries and served his

apprenticeship at Doulton before moving to London to study

sculpture. He contributed several designs for the early

HN collection including Darling HN1. Following

his marriage, Vyse set up his own studio pottery in

the Chelsea area of London with his wife, Nell.

Throughout the 1920s, they

made a wide range of character

figures in very limited numbers

for sale at art exhibitions.

Subjects ranged from gypsy pedlars

and flower sellers to nymphs and

satyrs from Classical mythology.

Each figure is an individual work of

art – hand-made by Vyse and

exquisitely painted by Nell.

DULWICH POTTERYJessamine S. Bray and Sybil V. Williams worked together at the

Dulwich Pottery, where they made striking ceramic figures and

vases in the late 1920s and 30s. They were commissioned to

produce some pretty lady figures for Royal

Worcester but their unique studio work is

much more intricately detailed, as can

be seen in this beautiful blossom

tree created petal by petal.

STELLA CROFTSStella Crofts specialized in animal models and had

a unique ability to capture the character of her

subjects, often with a touch of humor. She learned to

draw during a childhood illness and studied at the

Central School and Royal College of Art where she

specialized in clay modeling. She set up her own studio with a

kiln in Essex and exhibited all over the world during the 1920s

and 30s. There are examples of her animal models in the

Victoria & Albert Museum and a retrospective exhibition was

held recently in Gloucestershire. Stella was a great dog lover

and often undertook to model favored pets, like this little

Pekinese, Kun Yang.

OLD CHEYNE POTTERY, CHELSEAEthel Sleigh and Phyllis Simpson established the Old

Cheyne Pottery in Chelsea in 1922 and became members

of the Potter’s Guild together with their neighbor,

Charles Vyse. Another Chelsea neighbor at the Royal

Hospital inspired this fine portrait figure of a

Chelsea Pensioner. The Museum of London and the

Victoria and Albert Museum have examples of Old

Cheyne Pottery but generally work by these artists

is very hard to find.

REG JOHNSONReginald Johnson began his studies under Charles

Noke at Burslem , aged 14 in 1923, and became an

accomplished porcelain painter as well as a skilled

modeler. Johnson went on to become a Doulton

Design Director but he also had his own studio where

he modeled character figures in Noke’s style. His subjects were

varied and included characters from Arabian bazaars and

charming child studies. Johnson was also inspired by famous

artists such as Gainsborough and Millais. Reg Johnson’s own

studio figures are now greatly appreciated by connoisseurs of

Peggy’s Royal Doulton career began at the age of 17 in 1939 as

assistant to Charles Noke who was by then in his eighties. Previously

Peggy had worked for Clarice Cliff as a modeler for three years while

completing her scholarship at the Burslem College of Art. At

Doulton she began by modeling animals, including birds, cats and

dogs for the HN collection. When the

Burslem Pottery was bombed in October

1940, Peggy worked with Noke at his

home studio before training as a nurse for

the war effort.

FASHION & HISTORYAfter the war, Peggy worked under the

direction of Cecil J. Noke and her first

figurine Christmas Morn was introduced in

1947. Peggy loved fashion and made all

her own clothes in a unique personal

style. This talent was reflected in her

figurine designs which portray all periods

of costume history from medieval to

modern times. Peggy also loved reading

history which proved invaluable for research and inspiration. These

combined interests are shown to great effect in her first collection

Period Figures in English History which was launched with detailed

descriptions of each character in an accompanying booklet.

JO LEDGERJo Ledger OBE, Royal Doulton’s former Art

Director, passed away on June 26th, aged

84. Jo succeeded Cecil J. Noke as Art

Director in December 1954 at the young age

of 28 and was a remarkable design leader for

Doulton until his retirement in 1989.

Peggy Davies was the only figurine modeler when Jo joined the

company and they worked very closely together for a number of years.

Jo would provide detailed drawings for Peggy to work from and

together they created a radical new look for figurines. Jo also gave a

new look to the Doulton animal collection with his sleek, stylized

Chatcull collection. He was fascinated with Doulton’s unique flambé

glaze and learned the process so that he could create several new

shapes and decorative effects in the late 1950s. Perhaps Jo’s greatest

design legacy was his Royal Crown Derby paperweight collection and

he jokingly claimed that it was because Margaret Thatcher was such a

fan that he was awarded the Order of the British Empire for services to

the British ceramic industry.

FAMILY LIFEPeggy married Sylfan Davies in

1945 and he helped her set up

her own studio. Sylfan also

posed for the Town Crier and

the mouthpiece of his pipe was

used to create the textured vest

pattern. Peggy was a devoted

wife and mother, raising three

sons who often inspired her

child figures, notably

Baby Bunting in fancy

dress costume. Children

also inspired Peggy’s charming

Kate Greenaway collection

based on the work of the

famous Victorian writer

and illustrator.

ON WITH THE DANCEPeggy’s other great passion was

the ballet and she was able to

indulge her love by modeling

figurines of ballerinas and other

pretty ladies dancing.

Her facility for capturing

elegant movement was

unrivaled in the industry

and swirling gowns with

dainty shoes peeping out from

petticoats became a trademark

of her work. Collectors were

also charmed by her beautiful

faces, expressive hands and finely modeled fingers.

Her pretty ladies might be dancing the night away

at a gala ball or languishing seductively on a couch

but, whatever the pastime, each demonstrates

Peggy’s keen attention to detail.

PRESTIGE & LIMITEDFrom the mid 1950s, Peggy worked closely with the new design

director, Jo Ledger. He encouraged her to break new ground with

exciting contemporary designs including their 1950s teenagers

and the Images series. Their collaborative Marriage of Art and

Industry was highly acclaimed at the Brussels Exhibition of 1958

where Doulton won the Grand Prix. After this success, Peggy

received several commissions for exhibition pieces, including

the Matador and Bull, Indian Brave and The Palio. (Con Vol 1

No 3) In 1970 Peggy became the first Doulton artist to have her

name inscribed on a figurine for over 50 years when her first

limited edition collection of Lady Musicians was launched.

Peggy was cooking breakfast for her family when she heard

the news on BBC radio and

dropped the frying pan in her

excitement. Successive limited

edition collections, such as

Dancers of the World (Con Vo1

Gentle Arts, (Con Vol 1 No

pinnacle of her powers

in the 1970s and 80s.

INDEPENDENT STUDIOPeggy set up her own studio in 1947 when her first son was born and

some of her early independent figurines were sold at Harrods. Although

she soon signed a modeling contract with Royal Doulton, she accepted

private commissions throughout her career and re-established the Peggy

Davies Studio with her son Rhodri when she retired from Doulton in

1984. She continued to take on new challenges in the collection of

American Patriots character jugs commissioned by Pascoe and

Company in 1987 (See page 15). In January 1988, she made her only

visit to the United States to meet collectors at the Florida Doulton show.

Sadly, she died the following year.

WILLIAMSBURGThe Colonial Williamsburg Foundation

was responsible for restoring the

former capital of Virginia to its

18th century splendor when it was

the political, social and cultural

center of the colony. Their historians

also worked closely with Royal

Doulton in the late 1950s to create

two authentic collections which were sold in their craft shops for many

years. Peggy Davies portrayed the lifestyle and costumes of the

Williamsburg colonists in her figurine collection while Max Henk

and David Biggs collaborated to produce the Williamsburg

character jugs. The Williamsburg Foundation also provided

all the background research for the Soldiers of the

Revolution which were launched under their auspices

to celebrate the Bicentenary of the United States.

NATIVE AMERICANSInitially Native Americans were friendly towards the early

settlers and celebrated the first Thanksgiving feast

together in 1621. However, they soon came into

conflict over the invasion of tribal lands and antagonism

worsened as the Western trail was blazed through

traditional buffalo hunting grounds. Terrorization

and war ensued with treaties signed and broken

until the end of the 19th century. Proud Indians

with their feathered head-dresses and peace

pipes have been a feature of the Royal Doulton

collection since Charles Noke modeled Calumet in

the 1930s and they make a colorful collecting theme.

A PRESIDENTIAL COLLECTIONGeorge Washington, the first president of the United States,

was the first president to be portrayed as a Doulton character

jug. It was also Stan Taylor’s first

character jug commission and was

inspired by Peale’s famous ‘Porthole’

portrait, which is generally considered to be the

most authentic likeness. The jug was launched in

1983 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of

Washington’s birth. A few years later, Washington

featured again in the Antagonists series, back

to back with King George III, his enemy in the

Revolutionary war. The other jugs in this popular

collection by Michael Abberley also commemorate

famous American adversaries at war.

Royal Doulton artists have now come right up to date with the launch of the Barack Obama character jug. Obama is the 44th president of the

United States and the first African- American to hold this office. He is also the winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace prize. Modeler Tim Potts has done

a superb job in capturing the smiling features of the president flanked by the stars and stripes embracing the White House.

The butterfly has been a source of wonder and a metaphor for spiritual

beliefs since ancient times. It has been a symbol of love, death, and

rebirth in many cultures and religions. In Greek

myth, Pysche the goddess of the soul, was

depicted with butterfly wings. In Japanese culture

also the butterfly symbolizes the soul and two

butterflies together are believed to be symbolic of

a happy marriage.

Over the years, butterflies have inspired music and

dance, particularly ballet. In the early 1900s, the

ballerina Adeline Genee was famous for her role as

a butterfly and her dancing

was described as a ‘butterfly on the wing’.

Butterfly costumes were popular for

masquerade balls in the 1920s and stunning

butterfly ladies featured in popular art and

design of the period. Royal Doulton

introduced their first Butterfly figurine in

1925 and this art deco theme was revived in

2006 by Valerie Annand for her

Butterfly Ladies collection.

Butterfly collecting was a popular

hobby in Victorian England but

nowadays most collectors would

rather have artistic interpretations

of this beautiful creature rather

than capture actual specimens

for display. Designers at Doulton,

Moorcroft, Lladro and Dennis

Chinaworks have all produced

beautiful pieces of ceramic art inspired by

butterflies as can be seen from this selection.

THE FIRST LADY OF LAMBETHThe Barlow family contributed greatly to the success of Doulton’s Art

Pottery in London and their work is the most collectible. Hannah

Barlow was the first lady to become a

resident artist at the Lambeth Studio in

1871 and she quickly became the most

famous with her remarkable talent of

incising lively scenes of animals on

to the damp clay. For

inspiration, she had her

own private menagerie,

which included Tommy the cat and Prince the dog plus more unusual

pets, such as a sheep called Lady Gwen Morris and a wild fox from

Wales which she tamed to follow her like a well-trained dog. As well

as portraying domestic and farm animals, Hannah also enjoyed

decorating vases with more exotic creatures, such as lions, which she

sketched on visits to Regents Park Zoo in London.

FAMOUS SISTERSHannah’s chief companion in work and life was her younger sister,

Florence, who joined the Lambeth studio in 1873. The talented young

women attracted a lot of publicity with their Doulton designs. An article

in The Lady magazine in

1887 shows them

working happily side by

side in their Lambeth

studio. They also

enjoyed sketching trips

together in the British

countryside watching rabbits at play and sheep grazing in the fields.

After a few years decorating Doulton ware with animals and birds, the

sisters decided to specialize. From around 1878, Florence focused on

creating bird designs in raised slip, a technique known as pâte-sur-pâte,

and she often embellished Hannah’s animal scenes with borders of

birds. The Barlow sisters produced a wonderful legacy of Doulton

designs until Florence retired in 1909 and Hannah in 1913. Their work

continues to be in great demand around the world so don’t delay in

contacting your Pascoe sales advisor about these great pieces.

VALUABLE VELLUMThe earliest Burslem studio artists worked on an ivory porcelain

body known as Vellum and enriched the satin finish with

brushed gold. Charles Noke was familiar with this style of

decoration from his days at the Worcester factory and he

modeled some splendid figurative vases and

ewers to exhibit at Chicago in 1893. To

further enhance the new Burslem art

ware, Art Director John Slater devised

a new style of flower decoration

with leaves and petals outlined in

raised gold, which was known as

Spanish ware.

LUSCIAN WAREIn 1896, Slater and Noke launched a new

bone china body with matching glaze which

was named Luscian ware. A soft painterly

effect was achieved by the skilful

blending of various colors, which

sank into the velvety glazy during a

succession of firings. Only the most

talented Burslem artists were able to

work in the Luscian technique, notably

the figurative painters George White and

Leslie Johnson and the flower painters

David Dewsberry and Edward Raby.

TITANIAN WAREThe name Titanian is derived from Titanium oxide which was

used to create the ethereal blue and green grounds, ideal for

the painting of birds in the trees and misty landscapes. The

egg –shell thin bone china body is wonderfully translucent

and was said to ‘make a painter on canvas sigh with envy’.

Charles Noke spent many years perfecting Titanian ware,

which was launched 1915. Production was always very limited

and only lasted ten years making Titanian ware very rare today.

THE GILDER’S ARTThe most beautiful paintings of the Burslem artists were embellished by

the art of the gilders. Using 22 carat gold, they added decorative frames

of raised-paste and acid-etched gold.

Gilding was one of the most skilled and

prestigious jobs in the china industry and

Doulton boasted the finest craftsmen.

William Hodkinson was an exceptional gilder

and decorative artist

who also excelled

in enamel on-glaze painting. A combination of these techniques was

used to frame the painting of Leslie Johnson on this exquisite comport.

On occasion even the foot rims

of dessert plates were gilded

to enhance their luxury

status and this Autumn

vase has a beautiful

raised gold inscription

on the base.

CHARLES NOKEThe first Doulton figures of the 1890s were produced in a parchment colored

body known as Vellum. The ivory finish was similar to Charles Noke’s work

at the Worcester factory where he trained. Shortly after he arrived at Doulton’s

of Burslem, Noke launched his new Vellum figures at the Chicago exhibition of

1893. The first Vellum pieces were tinted with soft sheens

of pink and green but gradually bolder decorations were devised by the

prestige painters in Robert Allen’s studio.

THE HN COLLECTIONIn the early 1900s, Noke approached several

sculptors, who had exhibited at the Royal Academy

and elsewhere, with the idea of launching a new collection of

figurines. The first models were decorated in soft shades of blue

and beige, known as the Copenhagen colors, which emphasized

their sculptural qualities. Named the HN series after leading artist

Harry Nixon, the collection was launched in 1913 when Queen

Mary visited the Burslem Pottery and she became the first collector.

CHILDHOOD REFLECTIONSSeveral early figures portray children, beginning with Darling HN1

which was named by Queen Mary. Darling was a runaway success

selling 148 figures in the first three years compared to just twelve

Coquette figures which gives an idea of their relative rarity.

Lawrence Perugini, a regular Royal Academy exhibitor,

has always been credited with modeling Shy Anne,

but the base of this rare figurine is inscribed C.J.

Noke Sc. showing that he claimed ownership of

the designs. Noke’s name has also been found

on pieces known to be modeled by Phoebe

Stabler and Ernest Light.

WILLIAM WHITEWilliam White, the modeler of Coquette, was a

winner of the coveted Royal Academy Gold Medal.

Noke was so proud of his involvement in the new

figure collection that he devoted two pages of the first

Doulton Figures catalog to White’s designs.

FAUSTIAN FIGURESThis unusual double-sided figurine portrays Mephistopheles

and Marguerite from Faust’s great drama. The Prince of

Darkness and the innocent Marguerite were made

famous on the London stage in 1885 by Henry Irving

and Ellen Terry. Charles Noke produced different

colorways of his Vellum figure in the 1890s and then

reprised the design in a smaller size for the HN

collection. He also portrayed two sides of Mephistopheles

as a character jug and a match striker so there is scope

for a complete Faustian collection.

PHOEBE STABLERPhoebe Stabler was a very successful London sculptor

who sold Doulton the reproduction rights for several

models. She exhibited her work at the Royal Academy

and the Paris Salon and was equally at home with

monumental sculpture, garden statuary and small scale

figures in bronze, lead, stone and ceramic. According

to Doulton’s first figure catalog, Phoebe modeled the Picardy Peasant in the open air

from life and she has created a poignant study of an old man selling

his grain at a market in Normandy. There were only three artists

painting the new Doulton figurines between 1913 and 1917 and

records indicate that only 18 male

Picardy Peasants were decorated

during those years. It seems as if

only a few have survived as it is

a very rare figure.

HARRY TITTENSORApprenticed to Doulton at the age of 14 in 1900, Tittensor became one of the company’s most versatile artists.

He was equally skilled as a modeler and painter, working in many different styles of Burslem art wares. He

excelled in Oriental subject matter and no doubt helped devise the exotic colorways for his Forty Thieves,

which are all very collectible today. His Pretty Lady was inspired by an Arthur

Rackham illustration and became a popular model in the 1920s being made in ten

different colorways. However, this lilac version is unrecorded.

By adding a shawl and bonnet, Tittensor later created the

classic Parson’s Daughter.

ERNEST W. LIGHTLight was head of the local art school in Stoke and he

worked as a modeler for Doulton and Wedgwood in his

spare time. He contributed a number of early figurines

to the HN collection, including The Curtsey, which

was made in ten different colorways. Each color must

have been made in very limited numbers as they

are all extremely hard to find today,

As well as his lady figures, Light also modeled

three soldier figures during World War I. The

model for the Digger figure was John. A. B.

Shorter, son of Doulton’s Australian agent, and

apparently the young soldier was

criticized at the time for having his

hands in his pockets when he posed.

ALBERT TOFTThe son of a potter, Toft studied at Stoke School of Art and was

apprenticed as a modeler at Wedgwood before winning a

scholarship to the Royal College in London. For Doulton he

modeled a figure of the actor W.S. Penley in the role of Charley’s

Aunt, which was commissioned by the playwright

Brendon Thomas and given to the ladies in the

audience at the 21st anniversary

performance in London in 1913.

Naturalistic portrayals of rabbits

were also a feature of the Lambeth

and Burslem collections but even

when the creatures don’t wear

clothes, they often have comical

characters, as with the Lop-Eared

Rabbit which was made in a

variety of colors, including flambé.

Royal Doulton paid tribute to these

pioneers for Bunnykins 75th birthday and

Shane Ridge re-modeled the family. The

edition of 500 quickly sold out

around the world so call your

Pascoe sales advisor for availability

of these tribute pieces and also the

Huntsman Bunnykins of the Year

for 2009.

When Charles Noke launched the HN figure collection in 1913, he

included several animals dressed as humans, a wolf, a fox and a rabbit

and these have become the rarest animals to find. The rabbit is

particularly desirable as he is regarded as an early ancestor of the

Bunnykins family (See page 3). The idea of endowing animals with

human characteristics has a long tradition at

Doulton. George Tinworth modeled mice and

frogs engaged in human pursuits and Mark

Marshall modeled rabbits with marital

problems in The Waning of the Honeymoon.

Bunnykins are Royal Doulton’s most famous rabbits and the

nursery ware originated by Barbara Vernon in 1934 is now the

oldest and best –selling children’s china in the world. The first

Bunnykins figures date from 1939 but war cut short production

and they were only made for a brief period making the original

Bunnykins family very rare.

DID YOU KNOW

The differences between rabbits

and hares? Hares have longer

ears and hind legs and live alone

above ground while rabbits live

communally underground in

warrens. Unlike rabbits, hares

have not been domesticated.

Many American jug collectors will remember meeting David

Biggs at the New Jersey Collectors Weekend in 1998. At that

event he launched his Santa Claus character jug, which

Pascoe & Company commissioned, and talked about his

fascinating career with Royal Doulton.

In the late 1960s, David was given the

task of remodeling existing jugs for the

new ETC china body. Afterwards his

talents were required full time in the

tableware department and it was not

until 1983 that he was able to focus on

character jugs again, producing several designs for the

Celebrity collection. He joined the Sculpture Studio full time

in the early 1990s and created a succession of best-selling

designs, including several ‘Jugs of the Year’. David died earlier

this year but has left a lasting legacy for Doulton collectors

with more than 70 character jugs, tobies and other derivatives.

David particularly enjoyed the challenge of creating interesting

handles for his jugs and often provided Max Henk with great

ideas. He used a mirror to help him model the best

facial expressions for his jugs and had great fun

contorting his features for the dandy Regency Beau.

David could also capture an excellent likeness when

modeling famous faces such as Sir Stanley Mathews, the

Stoke soccer player, which was one of his last commissions.

David joined Doulton as a tableware modeler in 1958

under the direction of Max Henk but his sketch ideas

for character jugs impressed

Henk so much that he was

soon producing two or three

models a year in addition to

his other work. His first jug, the

Town Crier, went into production

in 1960 and then he worked closely

with Henk on the development of the

Williamsburg collection (see page 14).

For a brief period, between

1968 and 1973, character jugs

were produced in English

Translucent China, a porcelain

body pioneered by Doulton

chemists. All the jugs had to be

remodeled by David Biggs for

this process and so collectors

will notice differences in detail between earthenware and china

jugs. The most obvious variation is

the size as the china body fires

about half an inch smaller

than the earthenware. The

china jugs are also translucent

when held up to a bright light.

Each Ardmore piece is individually

hand-modeled and hand-

painted by Zulu artists in a

remote rural area of

KwaZulu-Natal. Fee Halsted-

Berning, the founder of Ardmore,

has been discovering and fostering

artistic talent in the local community for the

last 25 years and in November she is being

honored in New York by Women’s

Campaign International for empowering

women and uplifting the lives of their

families. The Ardmore artists battle

diseases such as HIV/Aids and the sale

of each piece helps improve the quality

of life in their community through the

Ardmore Excellence Fund. So collecting

Ardmore can be rewarding and beneficial as

well as great fun.
