Antique Doulton & Co. Earthenware Biscuit Jar
For sale is an antique Doulton & Co. earthenware biscuit jar. c: 1858-1891. One of a kind unique antique! It appears to be hand painted and is in 'very good antique' condition. Bottom has tiny incised mark: 'Doulton', and a red underglaze mark: 'A2171', and initials: 'WJ'. Very difficult to get a picture of the marks due to the color of jar and being that the lettering is very tiny and worn; you need a good magnifier. The metal is silverplate, very sturdy, but unmarked; just the interior underside of lid is pitted, see pic#8. Good sized jar, standing 9 inches tall up to top of handle; 7 tall to finial; or 6 tall if measuring up to lid rim. Some faint crazing; and a bit of spidering, mainly on the bottom as expected for age and use. One side of jar has a crouching hunting dog amongst the flowers, and other side has a quail. This is an amazing piece of earthenware that might be very rare. A fabulous gift for that cherished person on your A-list or to grace your own curio cabinet or kitchen hutch! I have not come across anything comparable to this jar. No paypal on this item unless you are a verified buyer with a confirmed address. Shipping to USA destinations only. shau-11-07
