The Blue Children line featured transfer-printed scenes of Edwardian children and women in pastoral settings, rendered in soft blue and white tones that give the ware its distinctive painterly quality. This jardinière depicts a mother and young child in an outdoor landscape — a characteristic subject for the series, full of period charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe bulbous form with flared rim is a classic shape for Doulton jardinières of this period, at 7 inches tall and 8.5 inches wide it's a substantial and impressive piece. The lion-and-crown backstamp dates production to between 1902 and 1922, consistent with the circa 1910 attribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe piece is in mint condition with no chips, cracks, or restoration. The transfer decoration is crisp and fully intact, with the characteristic blue tones showing no fading or wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWilliam Cross Antiques has specialized in Royal Doulton for over 45 years.
