PORTRAIT PAINTING ON PORCELAIN
1870 TO 1915
It appears paradoxical that as interest in classical portrait painting on canvas declined, production of and consumer interest in portraits (particularly of beautiful and/or well known women) on porcelain rose. The factors responsible for this phenomena are unclear but may include the following: The Industrial Revolution and rise of capitalism produced, among its' many other social and economic effects, a rising 'middle class' with more disposable income, as with the royalty and the landed gentry before them, these newly wealthy citizens wished to show their sophistication and taste by acquiring high quality display art work among which was portraiture on porcelain.

Whatever the reasons, there was an increase in production of portrait painting on plates, cups and saucers, vases, urns, chocolate pots, ewers, pitchers and plaques during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Although produced for commercial reasons nonetheless many of the portraits on porcelain were of very high quality and should be appreciated for artistic achievement and beauty in their own right.

Marco Polo´s famous 24 year trip to the Orient was where the notion of porcelain and Chinese ceramics originated throughout Western Europe. The Chinese were so distinguished for their porcelain production that they influenced European style for centuries. The first Europeans to bring porcelain making to Europe during the middle ages were the Venetians and Portuguese.

The most important ingredient to making porcelain is Kaolin, which is a white clay that is a silicate of aluminum found in China, Germany and Limoges France. It was in the mid to late 18th century that Kaolin was discovered in Limoges France in 18 miles southwest of Limoges at St. Yrieix. It is shortly after that time period that the first porcelain Limoges box factory was established. Louis XVI soon bought the Limoges Box factory, and French porcelain box blanks were taken to Sevres to be hand painted and decorated.

ROYAL DOULTON
FIGURINES
The first Royal Doulton figurines were produced at Lambeth in London and Burslem in Stoke-on-Trent during the 1880's. Charles Noke, who would later become Art Director, was responsible for modeling many of the early figures and for developing the company's famous HN collection that was launched in 1913.
In the beginning, Noke commissioned figures from a number of independent sculptors but in 1920 secured the talents of Leslie Harradine, who became the mainstay of the collection for more than 30 years. Since the 1890's, more than 2,500 different figures have been added to the range and are collected around the world.
