Royal Doulton "Poplars at Sunset" Display Plate

Antiques : China, Porcelain : Royal Doulton

 

This stunning display plate was produced by Royal Doulton & Co., of Burslem, Staffordshire, England. c1930. The earthenware base has a silhouette pattern of poplar and other trees against a red sunset and has been finished in a Holbein glaze (sepia) which compliments this lovely early 20th century design called "Poplars at Sunset" – introduced in 1910 and withdrawn in 1940.

The numbers D.3416, 23, are printed on the base along with a lion over a crown, and the words "Made in England, Royal Doulton, England", which was the back stamp used from 1930 onwards. It measures 10½ inches (27 cm) in diameter. There are pad marks on the base where it was supported in the kiln during the firing process. Both front and back have some crazing; there are no chips, cracks or repairs; and the glaze has some roughness/manufacturing flaws around the edge. This large and unusual plate would make an excellent addition to any collection.
