produced shortly after the historic workshop transitioned to a limited company, this piece features the iconic impressed "doulton & co. Limited" oval mark alongside the factory shape number f8. Reminiscent of doulton’s traditional “black jack” styles, the minimalist, bulbous silhouette is finished in a striking, high-gloss black glaze that offers a mirror-like sheen, beautifully contrasted by an off-white glazed interior rim.

its clean, avant-garde silhouette is enveloped in a flawless, mirror-like black metal-oxide slip glaze, creating a striking contrast against the pale, salt-glazed stoneware body visible at the foot. A sophisticated piece for discerning collectors of british ceramic history.

standing at 18 cm tall, this utilitarian yet strikingly modern piece of edwardian pottery serves as an excellent decorative accent, suitable for display as a standalone decorative object or as part of a curated collection of british studio and art pottery.
