DOULTON BURSLEM HIGH COMPOTE

A MAGNIFICENT AND RARE HIGH COMPOTE FROM DOULTON & Co BURSLEM. IT WAS MADE FOR PHILLIPS OF OXFORD STREET WHO WERE HIGH CLASS CHINA MERCHANTS AND WOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF AN EXCLUSIVE DESSERT SERVICE. THE RARE GOLD DOULTON BACKSTAMP IS PRE 1891 SO IT WOULD SUGGEST A DATE OF AROUND 1886 -1890.

THE CONDITION IS EXCELLENT, BRIGHT CLEAR COLOURS, NO CHIPS OR CRACKS AND ONLY THE VERY LIGHTEST, ALMOST INVISIBLE  RUBBING TO THE GILT.
