Lambeth Doulton Slater Jug

Doulton Lambeth Slater Patent Jug – Stoneware with Coloured Glaze
A striking Doulton Lambeth Slater Patent jug, showcasing the innovative Slater’s technique, developed by Doulton in the late 19th century. This process involved pressing a piece of lace into the clay to create a delicate textured pattern, which was then hand slip-painted to highlight the design — a hallmark of Doulton’s artistry and craftsmanship.
Made from fine stoneware with a rich brown and coloured glaze, this example is clearly marked on the base with “Z”, “RH”, the maker’s initials, and “Slater 538.”
