Doulton Burslem portrait plaque of a bearded gentleman. Multicolored in hues of dark browns, greens and light rust color. Around the turn of the 20th century there were many exciting introductions at Doulton’s Burslem studios, typically the concepts of the famous Charles Noke including Holbein wares. As it was a time of great experimentation many of the items can be said to be unique as they did not enter production. These experimental pieces typically reflect the interests of Noke himself and one of his great passions was history.
