SET OF 12 RARE ROYAL DOULTON DINNER PLATES GOLD & COBALT BLUE, 1917

Description: This Set of 12, Royal Doulton Dinner Plates, is dated 1917 are a rare pattern and believed to be handpainted by Herbert Betteley. The color is very vibrant and the glaze is glossy. The plates have some wear on the outside gold rim but no chips and are in great shape. My family bought them in New York City in the 1920s. Herbert Bettely. was born in 1860 and joined Doulton in 1886 at the age of 26 after study at the Burslem School of Art. Initially an artist he was responsible for decorating many of the ornamental ware exhibited at the Chicago World’s Fair (World’s Columbian Exposition) of 1893. Later, he designed patterns for Doulton and ware bearing pattern numbers prefixed by ‘HB’ or ‘BB’ (in addition to the normal Doulton backstamp) are presumably the work of Betteley. His speciality was the painting of intricate gold patterns on ornamental ware. He remained associated with the Nile St factory until 1930.
