Brangwyn ware 1930-40

Charles Noke, Royal Doulton’s legendary Art Director, was always a man ahead of his time, constantly on the search for something new and thus Doulton approached Frank Brangwyn R. A. to design a range of tableware.

Originally intended to offer to the masses at a reasonable cost, the designs proved unpopular at the time and as always the rarity of this ware has meant that it has become very collectable since then. In addition to tableware designs, Brangwyn’sdesigns can also be found on various vases which are equally popular today.

This ware carries one of two backstamps, the first ‘Designed by Frank Brangwyn’ and also ‘Brangwynware’ a Doulton pastiche.

In addition, once again Doulton’s in-house designers produced similar designs to the official Brangwyndesigns and these carry a D number.
