Incredibly collectible, this dragon patterned sugar creamer and jug pair from Doulton Lambeth with sterling silver mounts is truly a rare find. Hallmarked for London 1890 and exquisitely paired with the bronze almost terracotta like finish of the glaze, the colour play of the glaze and the well formed features of the dragons are truly wonderful to be hold.
Perhaps the best part is that the background is intricately formed with swirls and curlicues such that they form chinoiserie like cloud patterns, from which the dragons emerges in an almost three dimensional way.
The combination of glaze techniques as well as the makers marks on the bottom make this a precisely dated and collectible piece.
Creamer jug is approximately 10 cm wide by 9 cm high.
Sugar bowl is approximately 10. 5 cm wide by 8.5 cm high.
In excellent antique condition with wear to base commensurate with age.
