- This 5 1/2 inch high blue and white pitcher is one of a series by Royal Doulton to commemorate the Eglinton Tournament of 1839. It has been in our personal collection for many years. The scene depicted on the pitcher is the Eglinton Procession. This is a particularly rare pitcher. I\'ve been unable to find any with this scene. The pitcher is in \"like-new\" condition. The only signs of age is slight discoloration on the rim of the bottom of the pitcher visible in photos #6 and 7.
- After an extensive search, I have been able to find only 4 Eglinton Tournament pitchers on the web. They are all of the Jousting scene, with prices of $190, $165, $150 and $125.The fortunate buyer will have to pay for shipping insurance in addition to the USPS fee.

- FROM: \"Knights of the Quill: The Arts of the Eglinton Tournament\" -- A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Baylor University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Honors Program by Sarah Abigail Swinney, Waco, Texas, May, 2009.\"The Royal Doulton company released a line of transfer-printed dishware depicting scenes from the Tournament. The first of these were issued in 1902; after six years the line was expanded, and production did not cease until 1928. The series used seven different scenes (including images of the Queen of Beauty, knights, and procession) printed on plates (fig. 14), bowls, pitcher-shaped ―Castle jugs‖ (see app. C, fig. 25), tankard-shaped ―Concord jugs,‖ and other pre-made forms. To further vary the available styles, the dishes were produced in three different colors schemes: blue and white, sepia and green, and polychrome.14 These ―series ware‖ pieces were marketed as items that could ―adorn yet serve some useful purpose,‖ and buyers were encouraged to purchase a complete set.15 Introduced more than sixty years after the event, the Royal Doulton series is a testament to the enduring popularity of the Tournament. At the same time, it probably helped to preserve the memory of the event as the last original attendees were dying. This memory was not a holistic one, however, and the scenes on pottery may have helped ―dim the memory of its failings‖ by focusing on the positive aspects of the Tournament.\"
- FROM: is a fabulous jug in the Eglinton Tournament series. The Eglinton Tournament of 1839 was a re-enactment of a medieval joust and revel held at Eglinton Castle, Ayrshire, Scotland. It was organised by the 13th Earl Eglinton as a reaction to the omission of much traditional medieval pageantry from the Coronation of Queen Victoria in 1838. Doulton introduced the first of their Eglinton Tournament series ware in 1902, registered the design in 1904, increased the range in 1908 and are believed to have finally withdrawn it in 1928. There are seven scenes in the series, which appears in different colourways on two shapes of jug, rack plate and bowl. Backstamp: blue printed lion, crown and daisy mark with Royal Doulton England Rd No 408787 and Eglington Tournament printed inside the (and 1927-c. 1936)This is the ‘standard’ Doulton mark on Burslem earthenware and bone china used from 1901 to 1922 and from 1928 to c. 1936.The well recognised ‘standard’ Doulton mark or backstamp is that including the ‘lion, crown and roundel’ introduced in 1901 and used in various forms to the 1990s. From 1901 to 1922 the standard mark appears with the words ‘Royal Doulton’ and ‘England’. The new mark and use of the name ‘Royal Doulton’ as opposed to ‘Doulton’ signify the grant of a Royal Warrant to Henry Doulton by King Edward VII in 1901.\"
