Pair of Doulton Lambeth by Josephine Durtnall Faience Flasks
A matched pair of hand-painted Doulton Lambeth faience flask vases designed in an octagonal footed form, each decorated with vibrant, enamel floral and fruit motifs. One side of each flask features blooming white apple blossoms with pink buds among green foliage, while the opposite side presents ripened yellow and red apples amid leaves tinged with autumnal hues. The necks, sides, and feet of both vases are adorned with intricate scrollwork designs in rust and brown tones against an orange ground. The interiors are glazed in mottled olive green. Both pieces are impressed with the "Doulton Lambeth" mark and bear the artist's hand-painted initials "JD" for Josephine Durtnall, a recognized decorator active during the late 19th to early 20th century.
