Connoisseur 

Welcome 

We have a busy schedule of events lined up in 

South Africa over the next few months and look 

forward to seeing many of you again soon. From 

October 15-17, we will be presenting a Pascoe 

Ceramics Weekend at the Southern Sun, Grayston. We 

are planning an extensive exhibition of Royal Doulton 

and Moorcroft so please let us know if there are any 

specific pieces that you would like to see there. No 

doubt you will be inspired by the articles in this issue 

of Connoisseur so call us toll-free now and the pieces of interest can be included in our 

next South African shipment. 

Louise Irvine, the British ceramics expert, will be flying out from London to be our guest 

of honor in October and will be hosting several social and informative programs for 

Doulton and Moorcroft collectors during the weekend. (See pages 13 and 32) Louise 

writes all the articles in our Connoisseur magazine and has a wealth of knowledge about 

ceramic art so don’t miss this opportunity to hear her speak and take part in our new 

‘Stump the Expert!’ challenge. 

Our collectors’ dinner party on Saturday evening is always a fun event and this year we 

will be celebrating South Africa’s World Cup success with a Doulton sporting theme. I 

was fortunate enough to attend some of the soccer final matches before the NAADA Fair 

in July and had a wonderful time. 

On October 23rd and 24th, we will be organizing an event in Pretoria for the first time. 

As well as our selling exhibition of Royal Doulton and Moorcroft, we will be featuring 

estate jewelry, silver and other small antiques, courtesy of Christiaan and Sonia Scholtz 

from Die Ossewa. We will also be running a valuations clinic throughout the weekend 

in ‘antiques roadshow’ style. 

Die Ossewa Antiques shop in Melville will be the venue for our ‘Holidays’ event from 

November 19-21 when we invite you to do your Christmas shopping for Royal Doulton 

and Moorcroft among other fine antiques and furniture. Our very own Moorcroft expert, 

Tom Munro, will be your host for this event and he is looking forward to meeting all his 

South African friends that weekend.

D’YE KEN JOHN PEEL 

England’s most famous hunter is the subject 

of a popular 19th century song D’ye Ken 

John Peel (ken means know). He hunted 

hares as well as foxes and often chased after 

his hounds on foot instead of horseback 

when the going got too rough to ride. John 

Peel inspired several Doulton pieces made 

at the Burslem studio in the 1930s.

Fox hunting has been part of English rural life since the 16th century and became popular in America during colonial times. Today in the US the 

sport is often referred to as fox chasing as the object is not to kill but to enjoy the thrill of the chase. Doulton collectors can also enjoy the hunt 

by pursuing the elusive fox models and other great hunting designs produced by the Lambeth and Burslem studios.

Traditionally the Meet takes place at a country inn where the huntsmen gather to partake e of 

the stirrup cup before the chase. The colorful sight of huntsmen hun riding to hounds in their scarlet arlett 

coats has inspired innspired 

artists a for centuries. One of the e mo most ost 

popular populaar 

hunt illu illustrators was Cecil Aldin, whose work workk 

was 

reproduced 

on Doulton Series ware in the mid midd 

1920s. 

Hunting Hunting H sc scenes were very popular with the e American merican market 

in the ea early 1900s and the Burslem studio o produced a wide range of designs for export.

This T hu hunting cry signifies that the fox has been seen in the open. Foxes 

in all 

shapes, sizes and colorways have featured in the HN collection 

since the earliest years and some are as elusive as the animals 

themselves, them defying collectors on the hunt. The wily fox is also the 

hero in the Master of Foxhounds jug, where he cunningly hides from 

the t ho hounds, dressed in hunting pink. The HN collection also features 

horses, horsses, 

hares ha and hunting hounds with their quarry, including spaniels and 

setters setters with ppheasants, 

which can accessorize a general hunting display.

Hunting and riding have long been considered suitable sports for ladies, 

providing fresh air and exercise in appropriate costumes. Look out also for the 

elegant ladies in the riding g habits of yesteryear y portrayed by Leslie Harradine. 


Peggy’s Royal Doulton career began at the age of 17 in 1939 as 

assistant to Charles Noke who was by then in his eighties. Previously 

Peggy had worked for Clarice Cliff as a modeler for three years while 

completing her scholarship at the Burslem College of Art. At 

Doulton she began by modeling animals, including birds, cats and 

FASHION & HISTORY 

After the war, Peggy worked under the 

direction of Cecil J. Noke and her first 

figurine Christmas Morn was introduced in 

1947. Peggy loved fashion and made all 

her own clothes in a unique personal 

style. This talent was reflected in her 

figurine designs which portray all periods 

of costume history from medieval to 

modern times. Peggy also loved reading 

history which proved invaluable for research and inspiration. These 

combined interests are shown to great effect in her first collection 

Period Figures in English History which was launched with detailed 

descriptions of each character in an accompanying booklet.

JO LEDGER 

Jo Ledger OBE, Royal Doulton’s former Art 

Director, passed away on June 26th, aged 

84. Jo succeeded Cecil J. Noke as Art 

Director in December 1954 at the young age 

of 28 and was a remarkable design leader for 

Doulton until his retirement in 1989.

Jo Ledger with Peggy Davies 

and Art and Industry 

Peggy Davies was the only figurine modeler when Jo joined the 

company and they worked very closely together for a number of years. 

Jo would provide detailed drawings for Peggy to work from and 

together they created a radical new look for figurines. Jo also gave a 

new look to the Doulton animal collection with his sleek, stylized 

Chatcull collection. He was fascinated with Doulton’s unique flambé 

glaze and learned the process so that he could create several new 

shapes and decorative effects in the late 1950s. Perhaps Jo’s greatest 

design legacy was his Royal Crown Derby paperweight collection and 

he jokingly claimed that it was because Margaret Thatcher was such a 

fan that he was awarded the Order of the British Empire for services to 

the British ceramic industry.

PRESTIGE & LIMITED 

From the mid 1950s, Peggy worked closely with the new design 

director, Jo Ledger. He encouraged her to break new ground with 

exciting contemporary designs including their 1950s teenagers and 

the Images series. Their collaborative Marriage of Art and Industry 

was highly acclaimed at the Brussels Exhibition of 1958 where 

Doulton won the Grand Prix. After this success, Peggy received 

several commissions for exhibition pieces, including cluding the Matador 

and Bull, Indian Brave and The Palio. In 1970 Pegg Peggy gy bbecame became the th the

The butterfly has been a source of wonder and a metaphor for spiritual 

beliefs since ancient times. It has been a symbol of love, death, and 

rebirth 

in many cultures and religions. In Greek 

myth, 

Pysche the goddess of the soul, was 

depic depicted with butterfly wings. In Japanese culture 

also the th butterfly symbolizes the soul and two 

butterfl butterflies together are believed to be symbolic of 

a 

happy marriage. 

Over OOver

dan dance, ce, particularly par ballet. In the early 1900s, the

FAMOUS SISTERS 

Hannah’s chief companion in work and life was her younger sister, 

Florence, who joined the Lambeth studio in 1873. The talented young 

women attracted a lot of publicity with their Doulton designs. An article 

in The Lady magazine in 

1887 shows them 

working happily side by

After a few years decorating Doulton ware with animals and birds, the 

sisters decided to specialize. From around 1878, Florence focused on 

creating bird designs in raised slip, a technique known as pâte-sur-pâte, 

and she often embellished Hannah’s animal scenes with borders of 

birds. The Barlow sisters produced a wonderful legacy of Doulton 

designs until Florence retired in 1909 and Hannah in 1913. Their work 

continues to be in great demand around the world so don’t delay in

CHARLES CH NOKE 

Rarest of the Rare 

The first Doulton figures of the 1890s were produced in a parchment colored 

body bod known as Vellum. The ivory finish was similar to Charles Noke’s work 

at the th Worcester factory where he trained. Shortly after he arrived at Doulton’s 

of oof 

Bu Burslem, Noke launched his new Vellum figures at the Chicago exhibition of 

Charles Noke 1893. Th The first Vellum pieces were tinted with soft sheens eens 

of pink and green but gradually bolder decorations were devised by the he 

prestige painters in Robert Allen’s studio. 

THE HN COLLECTION 

In the early 1900s, Noke approached several veral 

sculptors, who had exhibited at the Royal Academy emy 

and elsewhere, with the idea of launching a new ew collection of 

figurines. The first models were decorated in soft ft shades hade of blu blue 

and beige, known as the Copenhagen colors, which emphasized 

their sculptural qualities. Named the HN series after leading artist 

Harry Nixon, the collection was launched in 1913 when Queen 

Mary visited the Burslem Pottery and she became the first collector. 

CHILDHOOD REFLECTIONS 

Several early figures portray children, beginning with Darling HN1 

which was named by Queen Mary. Darling was a runaway success 

selling 148 figures in the first three years s compared to just twelve 

Coquette figures which gives an idea of their r relative rarity. 

Lawrence Perugini, a regular Royal Academy demy y exhibitor, 

has always been credited with modeling Shy 

Anne, 

but the base of this rare figurine is inscribed cribed 

C.J. 

Noke Sc. showing that he claimed ownership ershiip 

of 

the designs. Noke’s name has also been n fou found und 

on pieces known to be modeled by Phoebe Phoeebe 

Stabler and Ernest Light. 

WILLIAM WHITE 

William White, the modeler of Coquette, ette, was a 

winner of the coveted Royal Academy Gold 

d Medal. 

Noke was so proud of his involvement nt in the new 

figure collection that he devoted two pages ages of the first

reprised the design in a smaller size for the he HN HHN 

collection. He also portrayed two sides of Mephistopheles tophheles

Phoebe Stabler was a very successful London sculptor 

who sold Doulton the reproduction rights for several 

models. She exhibited her work at the Royal Academy 

and the Paris Salon and was equally at home with 

monumental sculpture, garden statuary and small scale 

figures in bronze, lead, stone and ceramic. According Phoebe Stabler at work 

to Doulton’s first figure catalog, PPhoebe 

modeled the Picardy Peasant in the open air

When Charles Noke launched the HN figure collection in 1913, he 

included several animals dressed as humans, a wolf, a fox and a rabbit 

and these have become the rarest animals to find. The rabbit is 

particularly desirable as he is regarded as an early ancestor of the 

Bunnykins family (See page 6). The idea of endowing animals with 

Royal Doulton paid tribute ute to these 

pioneers for Bunnykins 75th h bir birthday rthday and

David joined Doulton as a tableware modeler in 1958 

under the direction of Max Henk but his sketch ideas 

for character jugs impressed ssedd 

Henk so much that he was wass 

soon producing two or three ee 

models a year in addition to 

his other work. His first jug, g, the thhe 

Town Crier, went into production ducttion 

in 1960 and then he worked ed cclosely 

closely 

with Henk on the development mentt 

of the the 

Williamsburg collection (see e page paage 

18). 

David particularly enjoyed the challenge of creating interesting 

handles for his jugs and often provided Max Henk k with great 

ideas. He used a mirror to help him model the best est 

facial expressions for his jugs and had great fun n 

contorting his features for the dandy Regency Beau. 

David could also capture an excellent likeness when n 

modeling famous faces such as Sir Stanley Mathews, ws ws, 

the 

Stoke soccer player, which was one of his last commissions. miissions.

In the late 1960s, David was given the 

task of remodeling existing jugs for the 

new ETC china body. Afterwards his 

talents were required full time in the 

tableware department and it was not 

until 1983 that he was able to focus on 

character jugs again, producing several designs for the 

Celebrity collection. He joined the Sculpture Studio full time 

in the early 1990s and created a succession of best-selling 

designs, including several ‘Jugs of the Year’. David died earlier 

this year but has left a lasting legacy for Doulton collectors 

with more than 70 character jugs, tobies and other derivatives.

No Noke oke to design stunning Sung vases, popular

which was first staged in 1916 and had a
