Royal Doulton Replacements

My business was initially based on the replacement of discontinued Poole Pottery tableware, but I must have been doing something right because over the years I have been asked by both existing and new clients to try to source many other makes of tableware for them.

One of the manufacturers that we are now asked for most is Royal Doulton. Royal Doulton have been in existence for many years and have produced thousands of tableware patterns in that time. Obviously most of those patterns are not longer being manufactured, so we now try to locate good condition previously owned items from that multitude of discontinued Doulton ranges.

I am sometimes asked which patterns of Royal Doulton we are asked for most. To be honest, I have never bothered to keep a league table: perhaps it is something I should do in the future. However, after nearly 20 years in the business I have got a pretty good idea of what clients are likely to ask for. Contrary to what you might expect, we tend to be looking for some of the more common patterns rather than the rare ones. Most of our clients come to us because they have broken items from sets of tableware that they use, so they want to make the sets up again. The more highly priced antique items are kept in the china cabinet and do not get broken, so they do not need to be replaced.

The Royal Doulton patterns that are requested most often from us are such ranges as Pastorale, Carnation, Florentina, Autumns Glory, Sherbrooke, Berkshire, Larchmont, Mandalay, Reflection, Polonaise, Sonnet, Rondelay, Diana, Carlyle etc. Most of these patterns have been produced in the last 40 years.
