The David and Charlotte Zeitlin Collection of English Ceramics

BOSTON, Mass. – August 21, 2006

Skinner’s Boston gallery announces a major two-owner sale of fine English pottery on September 9th, 2006, featuring the David and Charlotte Zeitlin Collection of Philadelphia, Pa., and the Edwin Klein Collection of Flushing, NY.  Beginning at 10 a.m., the auction will include extraordinary selections of early works by Wedgwood and his contemporaries, as well as numerous fine examples of later Wedgwood and other makers.

The David and Charlotte Zeitlin Collection of English Pottery

Harwood Johnson, current president of the English Ceramics Study Group of Philadelphia, knew David and Charlotte Zeitlin well. His memories and commentary introduce their collection in the auction catalog, providing insight into its breadth and history, and a glimpse into what he calls the “storied collection that has stories to tell.” According to Johnson, pieces from the collection occasionally have appeared on the market over the past several years, including some at recent auctions, which “led to rumors that the Zeitlin collection had been dispersed…but…It has remained almost completely intact under Charlotte’s loving care since David’s death in 1995.” He goes on to note, “[She] always welcomed visitors, but fewer came as the years went by, so memories of the collection became clouded and people imagined that it must have changed, or perhaps even forgot that it existed. This mystique is what makes the Zeitlin collection a storied one.”

Johnson describes how the Zeitlin family business, Samuel Zeitlin’s Sons, often took David to London, and it was there that he acquired much of his collection at auction. “He had a reputation as an aggressive bidder and buyer,” says Johnson, and continues, “David would have been happy to see their collection sold at auction, to give other collectors the thrill of buying a new treasure in the competitive environment of the auction rooms.”

In 1970, the Zeitlins founded what is today the English Ceramics Study Group of Philadelphia, which centers on discussion of and lectures about English pottery other than Wedgwood. In a letter dated August 22, David wrote to a selected group of friends, “For some time Charlotte and I have been considering the forming of a small group to study and discuss old English pottery such as Whieldon, Leeds, the Woods, Pratt, etc. We are inviting a few people, who may be interested in such a group, to our home.” The group still meets in members’ homes today, offering six lectures annually. The Zeitlins also graciously donated numerous fine works from their collection to museums including the Smithsonian Institution, Winterthur, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Colonial Williamsburg.

Doulton and Co, of Royal Doulton Potteries, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire

of Royal Doulton Potteries, High Street, Lambeth, London, SE1; and Nile Street, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. Telephone: London – Reliance 1241; Burslem – Hanley 7266. Cables: “Doultons, London”; “Doultons, Burslem”. (1929)

The Doulton Company produced tableware and collectables, with a history dating back to 1815. Operating originally in London, its reputation developed when it moved to The Potteries, where it was a relative latecomer compared with other leading names such as Spode, Wedgwood and Mintons. Today, its products include dinnerware, giftware, cookware, porcelain, glassware, collectables, jewellery, linens, curtains, and lighting, among other items.

Its three key brands are Royal Doulton, Royal Albert, and Minton. Together, the three brands make up Doulton Home, which is now part of the Waterford Wedgwood group. Most of the pieces in these three brands are manufactured outside the United Kingdom, in the Far East and Indonesia.

1815 John Doulton (1793–1873) became a partner in the pottery of Martha Jones in Vauxhall Walk, London, together with John Watts. The business became Jones, Watts and Doulton. It specialised in making stoneware articles, such as decorative bottles and salt glaze sewer pipes

1820 Mrs Jones withdrew from the business

1826 Doulton and Watts flourished, moving in 1826 to premises in Lambeth High Street.

1834 Doulton and Watts establishment at High St, Lambeth involved 12 men working 2 kilns per week

Eventually 6 of John’s sons joined the business including John junior (the eldest) and Henry who became an apprentice in 1835. Henry was to be the driving force behind a number of innovations which made the name of Doulton world famous.

1846 Henry Doulton left home to start his own business to make ceramic pipes for the sanitary market. In addition Henry continued to help his father’s firm of Doulton and Watts, and both concerns gradually expanded onto adjoining land and premises.

1853 John Watts retired.

1853 Doulton and Co was established by John and his son Henry as makers of fine English stoneware.

1855 Partnership dissolved: Doulton and Watts, potters, High St, Lambeth.

At some point the 3 businesses of Doulton and Watts, Henry Doulton and Co and the independent pipe works owned by Henry’s brother, John Doulton junior, were brought together.

c.1857 John Sparkes, principal of the Lambeth School of Art, approached Henry Doulton with the idea of producing artistic ware. While the functional pottery business was so successful, there was little incentive to develop new product lines. Eventually Sparkes and Edward Cresy, an engineer and lifelong friend of Henry Doulton, convinced him to experiment with artistic designs. Much work was needed to solve the problems of making artware.

1862 Doulton and Watts demonstrated a potter’s wheel at the International Exhibition[3].

1867 Henry Doulton presented the first examples of his art pottery at the Paris Exhibition.

1870 Doulton’s technical problems with artware were finally solved.

By 1871, Henry Doulton had launched a studio at the Lambeth pottery, and offered work to designers and artists from a local art school. Their names included the Barlow family (Florence, Hannah, and Arthur), Frank Butler, Mark Marshall, Eliza Simmance, and George Tinworth.

1873 John Doulton senior died. By this time, the firm was an established leader in industrial ceramics, and was just entering the field of art pottery.

The revival by Doulton and Co of the salt glaze stoneware that came to be known as Doulton Ware was one of the major triumphs of the firm. From small beginning, the staff of artists and decorators (including such well-known names as George Tinworth and Hannah Barlow) rose to 345 by 1890.

1876 John Duneau Doulton registered the company’s first trademarks.

1877/8 Doulton bought a small factory from Pinder, Bourne and Co at Nile Street in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. Doulton became increasingly popular, thanks mainly to the artistic direction of John Slater, who worked across a wide variety of figurines, vases, character jugs, and decorative pieces. The company was soon producing bone china at this factory.

1882 The name of the Burslem works was changed from Pinder, Bourne and Co to Doulton and Co Ltd.

1882 A new building was added to the High Street Pottery to cope with the demand for artware, which took numerous medals and prizes. This success was matched by growth in the Staffordshire potteries. The knighthood conferred on Henry Doulton in 1887 was a recognition of his outstanding achievements.

1889 The Lambeth establishment employed c.2000 people and there were another 2000 employees in other parts of the Doulton empire; drain pipe works were also at St Helens and Rowley Regis.

1891 Doulton and Watts, encaustic tile makers, filter makers and crucible makers, 28 High St, Lambeth. Doulton and Co was at Albert Embankment. 

1891 Henry Lewis Doulton became a partner.

1895 Doulton and Watts, Lambeth Pottery, London SE, manufacturers of Doulton ware, etc. Showroom at Albert Embankment. City showroom at Holborn Circus. Encaustic tile manufacturers, 24 High St, Lambeth. Doulton and Co (Lambeth Sanitary Engineering works) and makers of carbon filters, 24 High St, Lambeth.

1897 Henry Doulton retired in summer 1897, and died in November.

1898 Doulton and Co: offer of public shares in the company. The growth of the company and the withdrawal of Sir Henry’s capital had made this step necessary, which took place on 1 January 1899; Henry Lewis Doulton was chairman and managing director; the other directors were Ronald Duncan Doulton (Henry’s nephew), Benjamin Hannen, a builder, and William Turnbull, a partner in a firm of china merchants.

1899 The company was registered on 29 November, to take over the business of Doulton and Co, of the Lambeth Pottery.

1901 The popularity of Doulton products had come to the attention of the Royal Family and the Burslem factory was granted the Royal Warrant by the new King, Edward VII. It was this that enabled the business to adopt new back-stamp and a name that would last: Royal Doulton.

1911 Engineers (Sanitary) for the Railways.

1914 Listed as potters and sanitary engineers. Specialities: the art pottery universally known as “Doulton Ware”; the “Lambeth Faience”; “Carrara” stoneware, largely used for architectural decoration; “Terra Cotta” for architectural use and horticultural ornaments; “Holbein”, “Rouge Flambé”, “Crystalline” glazes; fine earthenware and china. Employees 4,000. 

WWI Morgan Crucible Co acquired the crucible business of Doulton and Co

1918 Henry Lewis resigned the managing directorship and the chairmanship in 1925, being succeeded in both positions by his nephew Eric Hooper.

After the first World War, Royal Doulton went on to become synonymous with the finest English china worldwide. That name and reputation continued to grow with flambé ware, titanian ware, and bone china.

1929 Listed Exhibitor – British Industries Fair. Manufacturers of Fine China and Fine Earthenware for all services and all markets. Decorative Pottery, China Statuettes, Rouge Flambé, Chang and Sung. Also Lambeth Stoneware Art Goods. (Stand No. G.61) 

1947 Advert in British Industries Fair Catalogue as Exhibiting Member of the British Pottery Manufacturers’ Federation of Federation House, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. Composite Exhibit. (Pottery and Glassware Section – Olympia, Ground Floor, Stand No. A.1196) 

1956 The Lambeth factory closed due to new clean air regulations that prevented the production of salt-glaze in the urban environment. Following closure, all work was transferred to The Potteries. The firm’s headquarters remained there until 1971. The building was demolished in 1976.

1968 The old established pottery company Mintons merged with Royal Doulton.

1968 Queen’s Award to Industry for Technological Innovation to Doulton Industrial Products and Doulton Research. 

1969 Sold pipe interests to Hepworth Iron Co.

1971 S. Pearson and Son acquired Doulton and Co and the outstanding interests in Allied English Potteries that it did not already own. As a result Royal Albert, as a part of Allied English Potteries, joined with Royal Doulton.

Since then, the business has combined the current three main brands under a shared identity: Royal Doulton, Royal Albert, and Minton.

2004 All production by the company in the UK ceased. Following Wedgwood’s acquisition of Royal Doulton on 14 January, 2005, Royal Doulton has left its factory in Burslem having established a state-of-the-art production facility in Indonesia.

2008 The company still produces fine bone china, fine china and Royal Doulton Lambethware.

Royal Doulton traces its ancestry back to the Jones, Watts & Doulton pottery in Lambeth in 1815. By 1826 the company was trading as Doulton & Watts, and in 1853 became Doulton & Co. The turn of the century saw the granting of the Royal Warrant and permission to use the epithet ‘Royal.’ The history of Doulton Lambeth ceased in 1956 with the closure of the factory and studios. By that time most of the production had been transferred to more modern works.

There follows a selection of the backstamps most commonly used on Doulton Lambeth wares, and some further brief hints on dating. The information is taken from “The Doulton Lambeth Wares” by Desmond Eyles. This comprehensive work contains a great deal of valuable material besides, including monograms and biographical details of individual artists and assistants (see below).

1.2.3.

 Impressed, moulded or incised marks on stoneware and terracotta products, c. 1827-1858. Notes: (i) No marks have been traced for the Vauxhall Walk period 1815- 1826. (ii) No. 15 High Street, Lambeth, was renumbered 28 in 1838.(iii) John Watts retired in 1853 and the name of the firm became Doulton & Co. The name Doulton & Watts may, however have been continued in trade-marks for some time.4.Impressed or printed marks on plain brown- and cream-glazed stoneware c. 1858-c. 1910. Also found impressed on some of the earliest Doulton Ware with simple incised decoration 1866-1869. After the word ‘England’ was added.5.There are several minor variations of this impressed or printed mark, used on plain brown-and cream-glazed stoneware c. 1891-1956. It is also found very occasionally on Doulton Ware and Lambeth Faïence.6.George Tinworth, who always regarded Henry Doulton as his patron used these names, roughly incised, on many of his panels and plaques. (The old firm known as Henry Doulton & Co. had in fact made drainpipes and had ceased to exist long before Tinworth came to Lambeth).7.Impressed mark on early Doulton Ware c. 1869-1872.8.Impressed mark on Doulton Ware. The date was added between 1872 and 1877 and occasionally between 1877 and 1887. A circular printed variation of this mark is also found.9.Impressed or printed mark on Lambeth Faience c.1873-c. 1914. After 1891 the word ‘England’ was added. A date was sometimes inserted in the centre of the mark. This mark is found also on Doulton Ware.10.Impressed mark on Doulton Ware c. 18761880. A date is usually found impressed nearby. Occasionally found on Lambeth Faience.11.Impressed or printed mark on Lambeth Faience c. 1873-c. 1914. After 1891 the word ‘England’ was added. Sometimes both No. 9 and No. 11 appear on the same Pot.12.Impressed or printed mark on Doulton Ware c. 1880 to 1902. After 1891 the word ‘England’ was added. The year of production also occurs occasionally. This mark is sometimes found on Lambeth faience along with No. 11.13.Impressed or printed mark on ashtrays and other small items of Doulton Ware. Occasionally found also on larger pots; c. 1891-1956.14.Impressed or printed mark on Impasto Ware 1879 – c.1914. After 1891 the word ‘England’ was added.15.Impressed or printed mark on Crown Lambeth Ware 1891-c. 1903. (Mark No. 12 with the word ‘Crown’ above it is also found, especially before 1894).16.Several variants of this mark, used in conjunction with Doulton Ware or Lambeth Faïence marks are found on Chiné and Chiné-Gilt Wares 1885-1930.17.Impressed or printed marks on Marqueterie Ware 1887-c. 1906. After 1891 the word ‘England’ was added.18.Impressed or printed mark on Carrara Ware 1891-1924. Between 1887 and 1891 Mark No. 12 is found on Carrara Ware.19.Impressed or printed mark on Silicon Stoneware c. 1880-1932. The word ‘England’ was added after 1891. Mark No. 12 is also found on some early Silicon Ware.20.This mark, in conjunction with No. 12 or No. 21, is found on some pots made in the early 1900s, with a metallic coating obtained by the electro-deposition of silver and copper.21.This new mark, available for use on all the decorated Doulton Lambeth and Burslem Wares, was introduced in 1902 after the Company had been given the right, the previous year, to use the description ‘Royal Doulton’ for its products. (Some of the marks for specific wares were continued in use with or without No. 21). The lower portion (without the lion and crown) was used on smaller pots from 1902 to 1956.22.Impressed or printed mark on Doulton Ware 1922-1956.23.Impressed or printed mark on slip-cast Doulton Ware such as figures and noncircular pots c. 1912-1956.24.Printed mark on hard-paste porcelain figures c. 1918-193325.This monogram is also found on some hard-paste porcelain c. 1918-1933. It is made up of a combined M and T, denoting not the designer but J. H. Mott, art director, and W. Thomason, chief chemist, who developed the new porcelain body.26.Impressed or printed mark on ‘Persian Ware’ c. 1920-1936.27.This mark is found on a range of pigment decorated pots introduced in the mid 1920s. It has also been found on some large wall-plaques. It appears to have been discontinued by 1939.

Further Aids to Dating

The approximate date of introduction of such patterns may be estimated from the following table. It must be borne in mind that some patterns, if they proved popular, were continued for several years after their first introduction. The trade-mark will also help to determine the approximate date of manufacture.

These letters run in consecutive order from c in 1902 to z in 1925. They usually but not always appear inside a shield.On slip-cast wares the month and year of manufacture were sometimes indicated by impressed figures, e.g. 10.21 for October 1921.

Registration Marks and Numbers

On designs registered at the Patent Office between 1842 and1883 a diamond shaped mark will usually be found in addition to the normal trade-mark. Two different patterns of diamonds were used but so far as the Doulton Lambeth Wares are concerned one need only consider the following:

The most important item here is the letter on the right-hand side of the diamond (C in the above illustration) which indicates the year of registration (1870).The following is the key to these letters:A:

1871

I:1872S:1875C:1870 J:1880U:1874D:1878 (part)K:1883V:1876E:1881L:1882W:1878 (part)F:1873P:1877X:1868H:1869  Y:1879The letter at the bottom of the diamond indicates the month of registration as follows: A: December; B: October; C or O: January; D: September; E: May; C: February; H: April; I: July; K: November; M: June; R: August; W: March.From 1884 onwards Registration Numbers were used instead of the diamond shaped mark. The following table shows the first number issued each year up to 1909. The numbers f from 1903 to 1909 are approximate. A slight overlap may occur between the end of one year and the beginning of another.
