Royal Doulton "Cinnabar (TC1217)"

Royal Doulton Cinnabar (TC1217) has a strong, dramatic look, using warm earthy browns and yellows with green and red accents. The red rim gives the design its punch, making Cinnabar one of the more striking patterns within Royal Doulton's Expressions range.

The pattern has a much bolder presence than many softer floral Royal Doulton designs. Its colour palette feels warm and autumnal, while the border decoration gives the pieces a lively, almost painted quality that works well on plates and tea ware.

Expressions patterns were made for practical everyday dining and serving, with pieces such as plates, bowls, cups, saucers, mugs, jugs, teapots and serving ware forming the useful core of the range. When matching Cinnabar, the TC1217 pattern number, red trim, warm border colours and modern Royal Doulton shape are the main details to compare.

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