Crafted in the hand-painted manner characteristic of the Old English Scenes series, the work showcases skilled ceramic artistry and a restrained palette that suits formal or casual display alike.

The piece presents a shallow, rounded bowl form with a pronounced wall and a thumb-stop handle, a design feature that provides a tactile resting point. The exterior and interior are adorned with a hand-painted Old English scene of gleaners, rendered in muted tones that emphasize narrative detail and craftsmanship. The overall silhouette and decorative program are consistent with early 20th-century Royal Doulton interpretations of pastoral country life, blending functional form with a quiet, decorative charm.

Overall in very good condition for its age.
