The impressed factory number indicates that this is an example of Doulton’s ‘series ware’, executed by assistants to a senior artist’s design in an edition of a few dozen to c.1,000. Maud Bowden was one of the many long-service Doulton senior assistants, starting in 1903 and working through the Art Nouveau period, until 1937. Many of Doulton\'s artists were women, and in 1881/2 they presented an illuminated manuscript to Henry Doulton \'to take this opportunity of expressing our obligations to you for the origination of an occupation at once interesting and elevating to so large a number of our sex\'. (see Dennis, part I).

Doulton and Co, founded c.1815, originally made utility ceramics, with some stoneware jugs and ornamental bottles. Henry Doulton introduced decorative stoneware and architectural terracotta at Lambeth in the mid 1860s; over the next 50 years, he employed some 400 artists, many of them Lambeth School of Art students. Doulton championed individuality, innovation and versatility, and his modellers and decorators used a wide range of techniques and decorative treatments in producing both unique, artist-signed, and limited edition pieces. From 1872 the business expanded into faience and in the 1880s opened a factory at Burslem, Staffordshire, where bone china and other wares were made. In 1901, Edward VII granted the Royal warrant to the factory. Stoneware production at Lambeth reduced after 1914, and ceased in 1956.
