Hall’s association with Doulton began as a young teenager and would end with him leading a group of young painters and also leading the hand painting Seriesware department. In the intervening years Hall displayed his versatility by painting many important fine china dessert sets and services featuring flowers, fish, game and landscapes. He is recorded as being particularly famed for his floral subjects, but to date I haven’t personally found any! Perhaps someone out there can help?

  1. I have what I think if a one-off vase – water lilies and butterflies on a mauve background painted and signed by Sidney Hall. It is a Royal Doulton Titanian vase with the Royal Doulton stamp on the base and stamped with numbers 1635 and 1434. Sidney Hall was my late mother-in-law’s uncle. Her name before marriage was Margery Hall and she also worked as an artist and designer for Royal Douton. The vase is 7″ high and 6″ diameter. Margery died several years ago and I subsequently inherited it from my late father-in-law. I was with Margery when Uncle Sid gifted the vase to her and think this was a one-off decoration he did for family. There was also a smaller version of the vase which was sold several years ago.
