Royal Doulton "Bamboo"

Royal Doulton Bamboo has a very period look, with its black-trimmed white body and stylised bamboo decoration giving it a more dated, mid-century feel than many later Royal Doulton tableware patterns. It is simple, graphic and instantly recognisable.

Bamboo is presented on the same broad shape family as Royal Doulton Frost Pine and Royal Doulton Morning Star, so customers familiar with those ranges may recognise the form of the pieces as well as the decoration. The black edging and bamboo spray are the main points to check when matching Bamboo.

Royal Doulton Bamboo was made as a practical tableware service, with dinner, tea, coffee and serving pieces forming the sort of range customers may look for when building or extending a set. Plates, especially dinner plates, can be less easy to find than some smaller pieces, so they are worth checking carefully when they become available.

As a discontinued Royal Doulton pattern, Bamboo is usually chosen by customers looking to replace a broken item, build up 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.
