Doulton dating ( patterns RA )

Doulton's Robert Allen Studios

Robert Allen and artists in his studio were often allocated RA-numbers for their hand-painted wares designed and decorated by them. The RA numbers are mostly hand-written and accompany standard doulton marks.

Robert Allen handpainted wares were never produced in large quantities and many were never repeated.

The dates given below give a close approximation of when the designs were produced. RA-1 is repeated twice and it should be noted that the re-setting of the number marries up with the new doulton lion and crown mark.
