Their garden ornaments, reflect the company’s expertise in salt-glazed and vitrified stoneware alongside their more utilitarian wares, making them ideal for outdoor use due to their resistance to frost and weathering.

Many bear the Doulton Lambeth mark, sometimes accompanied by artist initials, as the company employed notable designers like George Tinworth and the Barlow sisters.

These ornaments remain a testament to Doulton’s legacy as a pioneer of British decorative stoneware.
