This fine porcelain
beaker was made by Doulton in 1897 to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen
Victoria. The colour portrait shows Queen Victoria attired for a State
occasion, wearing the small crown and mantilla. On her sash the Queen has a
fob brooch with a picture of Prince Albert. The back has the Diamond Jubilee
date and the Royal Cipher for Queen Victoria. The
Doulton Burslem backstamp is on the base, as well as the diamond backstamp
of Whitelley's, a very fashionable London retailer to the Gentry of the
period. |
