Rare Doulton Lambeth Agate Ware Jug with Sterling Silver Rim, Dated 1892
A highly unusual and artistically rich piece from Doulton's experimental Agate Ware rangeThis exceptional Doulton Lambeth Agate Ware jug, standing 20cm tall, is a rare and beautiful example of one of the studio’s most elusive ceramic techniques. Dated 1892, it combines striking form, complex surface decoration, and a unique blend of materials that exemplify the innovation and craftsmanship of late 19th-century Doulton.
The jug is of tapered form, with a rich marbling of variegated brown clay tones characteristic of agate ware—a technique involving the mixing of coloured clays to produce flowing, stone-like patterns across the surface. These naturalistic swirls serve as a dynamic backdrop for a wealth of textural and decorative detail.
The surface features fine vertical linear striations, adding subtle texture, and is punctuated by zigzag miniature impressed motifs that create rhythmic surface interest. Two bold, raised wicker-effect bands—one encircling the base and another just below the collar—add further structure and visual weight to the form. A particularly striking feature is the flamboyant, flared handle, sculpturally sweeping from shoulder to rim with a confident, organic curve.
Crowning the jug is a solid sterling silver mount, hallmarked for London, 1892, and made by the respected silversmiths Cornelius Desormeaux Saunders & James Francis Hollings (Frank) Shepherd. The addition of silver not only elevates the piece but situates it firmly within the decorative luxury market of the time.
To the base are impressed marks including the Doulton Lambeth cogwheel stamp, “England”, the series number 7191, and the incised monogram of decorator Elizabeth Atkins, one of the documented artists of the period.
Agate Ware pieces from Doulton are exceedingly scarce, produced only in limited quantities and rarely seen on the open market today. Their technical difficulty and aesthetic complexity make them among the most desirable of all Lambeth studio wares.
A superb and tactile piece with exceptional presence—this jug would make a standout addition to any advanced collection of Victorian art pottery.
Dimensions: 20cm tall
Condition: Excellent with no restoration
Marks: Doulton Lambeth stamp, "England", 7191, silver hallmarks (London, 1892), maker’s mark (CS over FS), Elizabeth Atkins monogram -

For sale is an extremely early Doulton Lambeth art pottery small jug. Made in the late 1860s. These pieces are few and far between and even rarer to find in perfect condition. Adorned with many repeated geometric shapes, with primarily pyramid shapes to the body before a rounded collar to the neck. Vertical interspersed lines then delicately decorate the neck. The handle is smooth, simply with an upturned end to the base. The simplicity, yet the brilliance of all the different sized pyramids create such an interesting effect. A couple of these early pieces are illustrated in "The Doulton Lambeth Wares" book by Desmond Eyles and Louise Irvine. They came just before the very first George Tinworth pieces so are a prize for the collector who would like to include the earliest work in their collection. Stamped beneath with the rare Doulton Lambeth box lettered stamp, this is the stamp that preceded the early oval stamp. It is not signed by an artist. A wonderful piece of history! -

For sale is an exceptional and very early Doulton Lambeth jug by rare and sought after artist Emily J. Edwards, dated 1874.

For sale we have this tall and commanding Doulton Lambeth vase by George Tinworth. It is an early piece, dating to 1876. George has used his signature "Seaweed Scroll" design across the vase to great effect, with subtle green seaweed contrasted against a rich brown background. The beading work to the scrolls is refined and delicate. Geometric tactile borders reside above and below the scrolling, with vertical leaf patterns extenuating the narrow base section to give interest and play to its height. The leaves also have subtle purples and pinks in them, which really adds to the piece overall. Inside the rim, the purple is evident again and adds further contrast to a well executed vase by Doulton Lambeth's master artist. Presented in undamaged original condition, the vase is stamped correctly beneath with the oval Doulton Lambeth stamp and the date 1876. This vase was originally one of two, and only one was signed with the GT monogram to the main body, which was a typical scenario.

William Moorcroft “Claremont” Vase – Shape M55, c.1925
A vibrant and highly desirable example of one of Moorcroft’s most celebrated patternsThis exquisite M55-shaped William Moorcroft vase, dating to the mid-1920s, showcases the iconic Claremont pattern—one of the most sought-after designs in the Moorcroft repertoire.
Encircling the body are ten finely tubelined toadstools, rendered in vivid and varied tones: four rich reds, four warm yellows, and two deep, velvety blues. Each cap is detailed with Claremont’s hallmark speckled surface and beautifully defined gill undersides—an artistic hallmark that makes this pattern so visually captivating. The base colour merges lush green and inky blue glazes, creating a moody, woodland atmosphere that complements the naturalistic subject matter.
To the underside, the vase bears the impressed marks “Moorcroft” and “Made in England”, along with the model number “M55”, confirming its authenticity and period origin.
A small, invisible professional restoration has been carried out to the top rim, precisely between a large yellow and large red toadstool. The restoration is of a high standard, with only a subtle uniformity of colour betraying the repaired area under close inspection. Importantly, the most visually dominant red toadstool sits on the opposite, untouched side, making this piece an outstanding display example.
Compact in scale but striking in design, this Claremont vase is a true collector’s gem—a perfect representation of Moorcroft’s artistry during the golden period of British Art Pottery.
Dimensions: Height: 7cm; Width 8cm
Condition: Professionally restored rim; still displays beautifully
