MARKINGS:
In 1901, the company introduced a new Doulton mark with the lion, crown and intersecting D motif. The new mark and use of the name Royal Doulton as opposed to Doulton celebrate the grant of the Royal Warrant to Doulton by King Edward VII in 1901.
From 1928 the standard mark with lion, crown and D motif was supplemented by a date number related to the year of production. A prominent 1 signifies 1928 and the numbering continue to 30 in 1957.  The simple rule is that adding 1927 to the number give the year of production.
In about 1930 a new form of the standard mark was introduced bearing the words Made in England above the Royal Doulton name and this mark was used until 1993. The date numbers referred to above may, or may not, accompany this mark.
Various forms of this mark were used over its 50-odd year life. The words Bone China and Fine China may appear below the mark. Fine China was the wording used from 1973 and can be found on Royal Doulton ornaments that are still produced today.
Royal Doulton also used pattern numbers which varied for different type of series. These numbers give  the approximate date when the item type was first introduced although the series might have been in production for a while afterwards. D numbers was used on earthenware items between 1899 and 1964. The D6326 number indicates this The Brooke pattern was first introduced in 1952.
Royal Doulton Rd numbers, often found on the base of Royal Doulton pieces, refer to the Registered Design number. These numbers indicate when the design of the piece was first registered, and can be used to help date the item. For example, an Rd No 597783 indicates that the design was registered in 1911.
