The portrait bust of the bard is surrounded by portraits of some of his most famous characters.

The Shakespeares portrait plate was in production from 1909 and was discontinued in 1967.
Originally devised and created by Charles Noke, who later become the Art Director.
The Doulton factory was established in 1815 in Lambeth, South London by John Doulton (1793 - 1873), who had previously been employed at the nearby Fulham Pottery.
The company was granted the Royal Warrant by Edward VII in 1901.
Production continued at the Lambeth factory until 1956, after which Doulton concentrated on their activities at Burslem.
In the 1960s, the company made a series of acquisitions. In 1968 it purchased Minton China, a company founded in 1793, and Dunn Bennett, a company founded in 1876 manufacturing hotel ware. These were followed by Webb Corbett and Beswick in 1969.
It is now part of WWRD Holdings Ltd., the name being an acronym for the main components of the business: Waterford, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton.
Condition: Very Good, no crazing or chips on the plate, the outer trim is good and there are no scratches on the plate itself.
