Doulton floral vases by Christine Abbott

A pair of floral 13” vases by Christine Abbott.

The ‘bible’ on Doulton, 'The Doulton Lambeth Wares' by Desmond Eyles and Louise Irvine states only that she was a senior assistant and that she worked at Doultons during the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth.

Doulton bottle vases by Christine Abbott and Winnie Bowstead

A pair of bottle vases, one by Christine Abbott and the other by Winnie Bowstead.

The two pairs of vases we show are notable for the precision of her workmanship. When filling delineated tubelined areas with glaze, it is easy either to apply too much glaze, in which case it runs over the tubelines, or too little, in which case the base colour shows through. The examples here are credit to her ability.
