Book Description
Royal Doulton Jugs: A Charlton Standard Catalogue has just been released. This is the
ninth edition of this popular catalogue by the Charlton Press. Long considered the bible of Royal Doulton jugs.
With the rapid ever-changing market place and the constant need to update your information the Charlton Press has released its newest Jug catalogue for your Doulton Library.
While prices for the mainstream jugs remain steady the most notable highlights in pricing~~ this year is at auction. The Clark Gable character jug recently sold for ?360, Hatless Drake realized ?185 and a Goatee Cavalier realized ?495. Pricing remains strong for the scarcer jugs.
The black and white listings at 520 pages and colour at 32 pages has remained constant with the 9th edition. However, the number of coloured illustrations has increased to over 280. Therefore, in conjuncture with the previous editions and our next two editions this will give the collector~~ an almost complete colour image of every character jug in the Doulton Collection.
As with previous years the commissioned models are playing an important role in 2005 with UKI Ceramics, Pascoe and Company, and Direct Ceramics all issuing short run, limited edition jugs. For example, from Pascoe and Company: John F. Kennedy in both large and small sizes, from UKI Ceramics the Great Miltary Heros Series, and from DIrect Ceramics two new flamb?jugs, The Wizard and The Witch?.
The~~ Jug of the Year for 2005 was Lord Horatio Nelson. This jug was issued commemorated the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, the most famous naval battle of the 19th century England. For Nelson fans this is a must have jug, and for the nautical collector Admiral Nelson must be high on their list of favouraties.
The ninth edition of the
Royal Doulton Jugs: A Charlton Standard Catalogue may be purchased form your local Doulton dealer, book stores, on-line~~ books stores such as, Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk and Barnes and Noble.com, Chapeters-Indigo.ca. or directly from the Charlton Press.

Jug Collector.......2007-01-09
Great reference; I needed to update me Home Owner's "Fine Arts" rider and this an accepted reference for Dollar Values. Thank You!
Product Description
The early Lambeth figures of John Broad, Leslie Harradine, Mark Marshall and George Tinworth continue to make gains in the market place. It is almost impossible to find a Tinworth figure for less than $2,000, while his classic pieces are in the five figure category. Nokes Vellum figures, produced at Burslem, have increased in value over 10th edition prices.
The early figures in the HN Series, from HN1 to approximately HN2000, have basically increased in value. This, of course, does not include the long run figures such as the Balloon Lady, Top o the Hill, etc. Character figures such as the Carpet Seller, Orange Vendor and The Cobbler are experiencing a weakening demand.
It is the middle section of HN numbers from approximately HN2000 to HN3000 that have come under pressure from on-line auction sales. It is the supply of figures in this bracket which experienced the great demand of the 1960s and 1970s as the pre-boomers entered the collectable field with gusto. It is these collections that are now being offered for sale on on-line auctions resulting in the supply overtaking the demand. The HN Series of the last twenty years, lets say HN3000 to HN4800, are basically short issued and are either holding or increasing in value.
More figures than ever are being issued annually. In 2005 over 125 new HN numbered figures were issued. However, the number of limited edition pieces is increasing, with the issue period being shorter, which makes an interesting case for the secondary market.
The 2005 figure Lawrence of Arabia (HN4695) by Alan Maslankowski, with a limited edition of 50 pieces carried on the modern Prestige series which began in 2002. We now have four figures in this series.
Other series introduced in 2005 are Best of the Classics, Chic Trends, Natural Beauty, Petites and Street Vendors.
All prices have been reviewed and updated for the 11th edition. In some cases, between markets we have the foreign exchange difference playing a major factor.
The 11th edition is the largest ever with the body of the book being 544 pages, plus 32 pages of colour.
The 11th edition is available from your local Royal Doulton dealer, book stores, on-line book stores such as Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Barnes&Noble.com and chapters.indigo.ca, or directly from the Charlton Press at the cover price plus postage.

Royal Doulton Figurines, 11th Edition - A Charlton Standard Catalogue by Jean Dale........2007-03-16
A useful catalogue for the collector of Royal Doulton Figurines.
Doulton Figurine Book.......2007-01-10
The book is very good and has photos of all but the latest figurines. The prices in the book would have to be considered "full retail". I found many figurines for sale in mint condition for 1/2 the book price or less. It is well organized with easy indexing by name or number.
Great Resource For Royal Doulton Figurines Identifications/Value........2006-11-11
This volume is enormously helpful in identifying & valuing Royal Doulton Figurines. Sorted by series (e.g. HN or M) & series # (4-digit number following series) it is very easy to use! Also it has cross-references which are very helpful when you have a name/title instead of the series #.
This book would have gotten a 5-star rating from me if it did not have missing HN series #'s, most of which correspond to animal figurines. Since I am interested in a FEW animals, it would have been nice to have them all in one volume! (I don't really want to buy ANOTHER reference just for the few animals I'm interested in!)
Also, if you are a Bunnykins collector, that info is also missing from this volume. (I'm not, so it wasn't a problem for me.)
Everything you ever wanted to know about Doulton figurines!.......2006-07-22
An extremely comprehensive book on Royal Doulton figurines for
the beginning or advanced collector. Each HN series figure is
pictured, described, and priced with artist noted. An excellent
resource for appraising your collection. The company history
section is fascinating. Well worth the price!
Royal Doulton Marketplace.......2005-09-20

Antique Trader Royal Doulton Price Guide.......2007-03-28
Good price guide for many (but not all) of Royal Doulton products (tableware not included). An improvement over Charlton in that it provides colour pictures as opposed to Charlton's mostly black/white.Antique Trader Royal Doulton Price Guide
Good Resource for Animals, Bunnykins, Flambe by Royal Doulton.......2007-01-04
This is a good resource for Royal Doulton items not found in the Charlton Standard Catalogue. The two books together will give you a pretty comprehensive resource for identifying & valuing "most" Royal Doulton pieces.
This duplicates a small portion of the info in Charlton Standard, but includes most things missing from it. It is a great resource for animals, Bunnykins, Character Jugs, Flambe, Burslem, Lambert Art wares and more!
To any Royal Doulton collectors, I recommend BOTH of these volumes! (Charlton Standard Catalogue & Antique Trader)
Book Description
Collectors around the world have enjoyed the animals figurines created by Royal Doulton for over a century. The 3rd edition of The charlton Standard Catalogue of Royal
Doulton Animals has been updated to include the new models introduced over the past few years, and to reflect the current market value of all Doulton animal figurines.
The three new series added to the 3rd edition are: The Charles Noke Collection, a tribute to Noke, whose classic model of a Polar Bear Monter and Her Cub was remodelled in 2001, by Robert Tabbenor, and issued in a limited edition of 200; the second series, modelled by Alan Maslankowski, Art is Life, contains beautifully sculpted animals such as wolves, bears, and horses; the third series, Burslem Artwares, contains the majestic flambé T'ang Horse and several other flambé pieces.
What appears to be the most buoyant niche in the Animal market today is the stoneware models of mice and frogs created by George Tinworth. The prices realized of these classic sculptures seem to escalate continuously when they appear at auction. There are well over 60 models created by
George Tinworth.
Each listing provides the model number, size, colour, designer, dates of issue and discontinuation, and the different glaze varieties that can be found on certain models. More than 1,200 illustrations on more than 475 pages results in a catalogue that covers the complete range of Royal Doulton Animals.
Book Description
The 4th edition of Royal Doulton Collectables will be released January 21st, 2006. The name change (formerly Royal Doulton Bunnykins) was made by the Charlton Press's desire not to cross brands. With the Beswick brand now having new owners we thought it best to keep the Royal Doulton and Beswick catalogues separate.
In the new Royal Doulton Collectables catalogue are:
Tableware: In the year and a half since the third edition of Royal Doulton Bunnykins was released many interesting discoveries have occurred in the tableware collectables field.
Thirty-six new shape/pattern combinations have been added to the pricing tables and twenty new pattern combinations have been added to the listings, several in the "rare" pattern category.
Most notable in the shape/pattern combination is the discovery of a fine white china Rex Mug, large size, combining Proposal (HW11) with Pulling on Trousers (HW2), and a Beaker, large size, with the Artist (HW1) design. In pattern combinations two of the more interesting finds are Carving the Chicken (LFc) / Medicine Time (SF1) and Wedding (LFd) / Lambeth Walk, First Version (HW16). Charles Noke's Bunnykins Teapot (D6010) rose to new highs and now catalogues at $2,000. +.
Bunnykins Banks: Finally, the Grey Rabbit has been sighted, however, the rabbit itself is not grey, but his jacket and hat are. The Royal Doulton pattern book states a grey colourway, and it was assumed the colour referred to the rabbit. We now have a grey-blue coated rabbit, and a green coated rabbit in two sizes, with mould variations in the two sizes. The grey-blue coated rabbit or First Version, carries the Tug of War backstamp.
Figures: The early earthenware issues of 1939-1940 weakened a little in pricing as on-line auctions brought more pieces to market. Billy and Mother Bunnykins are the two pieces which surface more frequently. The modern series of Bunnykins, 1972-2005, again came under pressure from the weight of the on-line auctions. The tremendous number of figures changing hands in 2004-2005 leads us to believe that the supply is moving into strong collecting hands, and while prices are trending slightly lower, the curve is starting to level out. This is always a very helpful move with any collectable for the lower price on new issues expands the collector market.
Fifty-five new DB numbered figures have been added to the 4th edition. While this is a fairly large number to add to the range, the MSRP fell due to the move of the production of these figures to China, and from what we can see, with no loss in quality. Certainly the body is lighter, but this is simply from a difference in slip makeup. A real positive is that the lower price will allow for a wider distribution of the Bunnykins figures into the market place.
Another interesting addition to the DB range are two sets of Bunnykins Christmas Tree ornaments (DB342 to DB349), each set containing four pieces. The last Christmas Tree ornament (DB-62) Santa Bunnykins now sells for over $500.
Storybook and Cartoon Characters: Ten models have been added to the Rupert Bear series, and a new series Frosty Family, with six figurines in the series, has been included. In the Disney Section thirteen models have been added to the Winnie the Pooh series, and there two new series Cinderella and a new Disney Princess Collection.

For Very Specific Collectors ONLY.......2007-01-04
Even though the item description clearly states 112 pages, I apparently didn't read it closely enough & was very surprised when this "booklet" arrived!
Perhaps the information contained in this small booklet is difficult to find elsewhere, but unless you are specifically a children's nursery rhymes series collector, this book is a waste of money! Had I seen it in a bookstore, I would have passed it by unless it had been on sale for $5-$7 MAX.
If you do collect primarily nursery rhyme Royal Doulton, it "might" be worth the investment, assuming you're having difficulty finding the info in more comprehensive volumes. That is not the case for me, so I was very disappointed!
Royal Doulton Series Ware (Vol 1).......2001-11-20
Being new to the world of Royal Doulton, I am so pleased to have found this series in the Central Library in Wellington, New Zealand. However I was unable to purchase in this country and after some attempts in the UK, went exploring on the internet. I am now the proud owner of the 3 of the volumes - albeit missing Volume II (Vol.2).
Being a new collector of Doulton ware, I didn't want endless information about the product(s), just enough to have a good understanding of dates, times, periods, production,design and marks. All of this is available in these easy to read, easy to handle books. I am really thrilled with them and know that I will enjoy them for life.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I sincerely hope that you enjoy this series as much I do.

Royal Doulton Series Ware Vol. 4.......2001-05-26
If you want to collect Royal Doulton series ware, I consider all four volumes in this series a "must have." I like this book because of the detailed photos -- the author goes way beyond just giving you a taste of Royal Doulton. If you only have one or two pieces of series ware, this book will help you identify them and let you see the whole spectrum of items that would complete your collection. While a terrific reference, this book is not a price guide and no prices are included. The only thing I wish this book had was more color photos. The china is so beautiful it deserves more color. That is the only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars. Louise Irvine really knows her Royal Doulton - this book looks like a labor of love to me.
