Royal Doulton Lambeth matched pair of monumental Slater’s Patent vases, enamelled floral design, circa 1910
A superb and rare matched pair of monumental Royal Doulton Lambeth Slater’s Patent stoneware vases, dating to circa 1910. These tall statement pieces showcase the richly textured and gilded surface characteristic of Slater’s Patent ware, a decorative technique developed by Doulton in the late 19th century.
Each vase has a tapering baluster body surmounted by a cobalt-blue everted neck. The central section is intricately decorated with hand-enamelled floral motifs in turquoise and white, set against a richly gilded two-tone background. The textured ground provides a striking contrast to the smooth upper collar, creating an interplay of colour and surface that is both refined and dramatic.
The vases are marked on the underside with the impressed Royal Doulton Lambeth mark and shape number X2987. This pair exemplifies the artistic innovation of Doulton’s Lambeth studio during the Edwardian period and represents a pinnacle of British stoneware artistry.
These vases are ideal for collectors of Royal Doulton, Art Nouveau ceramics, or for use as focal points in period or contemporary interiors. Matched pairs of this size and quality are extremely uncommon.
