Doulton Knowledge needed

[jdogrulz]

Could someone please tell me what this says "DOULTON & ???? / LAMBETH". I can not find this mark anywhere. I know of the "Doulton & Watts" but it doesnt look like "watts". There was also a "Doulton & Co Ltd" but that was his son and it was not in Lambeth, it was in Burslem, Staffordshire. The most common mark on these inks are the "Doulton / Lambeth" mark. I looked all over and found alot of info and most of his marks but not this one. Maybe it is "watts" and its just not pressed right, I dont know.
Anyway, any opinions, facts, non facts, hell ANYTHING would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

This mark was used on the more utilitarian wares like your ink and this foot warmer, unlike decorative pieces.....

Thanx d2r, I used to collect Royal Doulton Character Jugs until I grew tired of them and sold the group of 228 large ones to a collector in England....

Thanks for the info epack, can you date it? I can not find where they started and stopped using this mark.

Hi Jeff, Doulton & Co were trading in Lambeth, Derby by 1815 as Jones ,Watt & Doulton. Here is another typical Doulton & Co Lambeth mark - on their so-called square top ink pourer:

The diamond dating mark is the registration of the bottle design - dated 28 March 1876. The actual date of the bottle is probably 1921, from the 21 inside the circular mark; Here is the actual bottle:

Thanks SA, I am not so sure about using the number in the middle to date it. He normally used a Letter with a number when dating. Have a look here and see what you think:

Almost positive that this one and yours are pre 1900.
