Royal Doulton "Cambridge (TC1017)"

Royal Doulton Cambridge (TC1017) has a traditional blue floral look, with fine border detail and a more decorative feel than many plainer Royal Doulton services. The pattern works especially well on lidded and serving pieces, where the decoration can continue across lids, shoulders and borders.

Cambridge is not one of the Royal Doulton patterns that appears especially often in the replacement market. That makes the pattern number TC1017 useful when identifying pieces, particularly because Cambridge is a name that can easily be confused with other china, glass or tableware ranges.

Services of this type were made for a wider table setting, with dinner, tea, coffee and serving ware forming part of the range. When matching Cambridge, the blue floral decoration, border treatment, white ground and Royal Doulton backstamp are the main points to compare.

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