Description

Royal Doulton's English Renaissance pattern brings the grandeur of Renaissance ornament to English bone china—an intricate band of 24k gold scrollwork and foliate cartouches on soft celadon green, produced from 1963 to 1996 and now a sought-after discontinued classic for formal table collections.

This listing includes:
• One (1) Oval Covered Vegetable Dish - 10 1/8" length, 6 1/8" height (25.7cm length, 15.6cm height)

Condition: Excellent—no chips, cracks, or repairs. All 24k gilt scrollwork, rim trim, and gold finial intact with no wear.

• Production Period: 1963-1996 (discontinued)

An ideal addition for collectors seeking authentic English bone china rather than contemporary imitations, this oval covered vegetable dish delivers Royal Doulton's documented heritage since 1815—the same restrained opulence featured regularly in Veranda and Architectural Digest as a design editor favorite for its timeless pairing of celadon and gold.

This substantial oval covered vegetable dish showcases English Renaissance's signature border in full scale—elaborate 24k gold scrolls, foliate cartouches, and acanthus flourishes rendered against a soft celadon green ground, framed by crisp gold pinstripe bands above and below. The generous 10-inch oval form accommodates substantial vegetable portions for eight to ten guests, while the fitted domed lid retains heat for seamless formal service from kitchen to table. The distinctive faceted gold finial crowns the piece with the same gilded detailing found throughout the English Renaissance collection, making this an anchor serving piece for a complete formal service. The celadon and gold palette pairs beautifully with silver flatware, ivory linen, and crystal stemware.

History of Pattern and Brand:

Royal Doulton introduced the English Renaissance pattern in 1963, producing it for over three decades until its discontinuation in 1996—a 33-year run that speaks to its enduring appeal among formal entertainers. The pattern draws on the ornamental vocabulary of the Italian Renaissance, translating architectural motifs of scrollwork and foliate medallions into the refined language of English bone china. Royal Doulton, founded in 1815 and granted its Royal Warrant in 1901, has been one of Britain's most celebrated ceramics manufacturers for over two centuries, with its Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent factory representing the heart of English fine china production.
