In 1871 Doulton exhibited their first another at the International Exhibition at South Kensington and whilst the majority of the art wares were by their first artist, George Tinworth, a selection were also by a young artist by the name of Hannah Barlow, then a student at Spark’s Lambeth Art School.
The new art wares attracted even the attention of Queen Victoria who ordered examples to be shown to her at Windsor afterwards.
Within two years of working at the Lambeth factor, Hannah was joined by a small group of other young ladies. Interestingly among the ladies were her two sisters Florence and Lucy, together with their brother Arthur.
Over the decades Hannah worked at the Lambeth factory, she developed her own individual style making her work immediately identifiable to collectors, with her incised animal decoration. Hannah remains perhaps the most collected Doulton Lambeth artist in no small part due to her output sometimes reaching around 1000 pieces per year over a 40 year period.
Even today her work gets top billing at auctions and events around the world. Which leads us into today where you can see this wonderful selection at Lion and Unicorn Auctions, Florida today Sunday 21st June 2026! For more information visit their socials or http://www.lionandunicorn.com
