Among the most exciting developments at Doulton's Burslem factory in the early 1900s were radiant red 'transmutation' glazes, some with shades of green or blue. They were made by adding copper oxide to the glaze and controlling or experimenting with the effects of reduced oxygen supply in the kiln during firing. One such glaze was rouge flambé made between 1900 and 1914. This set is a wonderful example. Doulton's rouge flambé ware were first shown at the 1904 St Louis World's Fair.

The milk jug and sugar bowl display various country scenes. The Milk Jug is a church on a hill and with daisies in the foregound. The sugar bowl also depicts a church with daisies.

Back stamps date 1901-1922 and are all marked "Flambe"

Colours are still deep and vibrant.

Milk Jug stands 8 cm tall and is 10 cm from spout to back of handle.

Sugar bowl is 5 cm in height and 10 cm across top.

The condition of this set is excellent with no chips, cracks or restoration. I cannot detect an scratch marks.

This auction is for Milk Jug and Sugar Bowl but I am also able to sell 10 trios and two additional side plates.

Some are listed on other sites.

Combined postage is available.
