Royal Doulton "Allegro"

Royal Doulton Allegro (H5109) has a light, elegant appearance, combining soft pink flowers with a clean white body and a restrained grey border. The silver-coloured edging gives the pattern a slightly more formal finish, while the floral decoration keeps it fresh and delicate rather than heavy.

Allegro is best treated as a Royal Doulton bone china tableware service rather than simply a decorative plate design. Patterns of this type were made for a wider dining setting, with dinner, tea and serving pieces forming the core of the service. Plates, bowls, cups and saucers, platters, open serving dishes, tureens, gravy boats with stands and eared serving plates are all typical of Royal Doulton table services, while bone china ranges may also include matching coffee pieces.

When matching Allegro, the pattern number H5109 is a useful detail to check. The pink floral motif, grey concentric border lines and silver-coloured trim are the main visual features to compare, particularly when matching plates and serving pieces from an existing set.

As a discontinued Royal Doulton pattern, Allegro is usually chosen by customers looking to replace a broken item, extend a part service or add useful serving pieces to an existing table setting. Availability depends on what comes back into the pre-loved market, so individual pieces may appear only occasionally.
