An extremely rare and beautiful cobalt blue colored Jug which was made in 1902 to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Victoria's son, King Edward VII and his Consort, Queen Alexandra. These impressive cobalt blue pieces are regarded as some of the best work from Doulton Lambeth and this version for the Edward VII Coronation with the multicolored floral sprays is considered to be one of the best.This particular version has a solid silver collar (hallmarked) which was not often used on these pieces, making it even more rare! These jugs were not mass produced, each one being hand thrown by the potter and then each was passed to the decorator, who individually hand-crafted each one, as such no two are ever quite the same. The jug is decorated with four circular relief cartouches, portraying in one the profile of King Edward VII in another Queen Alexandra, the third has the future King George V whilst the fourth has the future King Edward VIII, hence these pieces being called the 3 Kings jugs. The rest of the body is decorated with art nouveau style colored floral sprays depicting the British floral emblems - the rose of England,the shamrock of Ireland and the thistle of Scotland. Encircling the rim and the base is the dedication "In Commemoration of the Coronation of Their Majesties King Edward VII & Queen Alexandra - Anno Domini MDCCCII" read more
