HISTORY/MARKS: Henry & James Doulton purchased an interest in Pinder, Bourne & Co. in 1877. Pinder left the business in 1882 and it was reconstituted under the name Doulton & Co., Burslem. The Royal Warrant and the right to use “Royal” in the name of its products were granted in 1901. The business continued under Henry Lewis Doulton from 1897-1919 and then under his grandson, Lewis Eric Hooper, who remained chairman until 1955. The mark used on these plates is cited as mark #1333 in Geoffrey A. Godden’s Encyclopeadia of British Pottery & Porcelain Marks and was used 1902-1929. The registration number is recorded as Rd No #741638 that corresponds to 1928, This makes the circa for this set to be 1928-1929.
