Royal Doulton "English Renaissance (H4972)"

Royal Doulton English Renaissance (H4972) is one of Royal Doulton's premium discontinued designs, with ornate gold-coloured leaf detail set against a sage green border. The pattern has a formal, high-quality feel, helped by the elegant shapes and generous decorative finish.

English Renaissance remains a sought-after pattern when good pieces appear, particularly tea service items such as cups, saucers, tea plates and serving pieces. The design has a refined, traditional character, making it especially appealing to customers building or maintaining a more formal Royal Doulton service.

When matching English Renaissance, the H4972 pattern number, sage green border, intricate gold-coloured leaf decoration and gilded detailing are all useful points to compare. Tea pieces can be especially desirable, so matching shape and trim carefully is important when replacing individual items.

As a discontinued Royal Doulton pattern, English Renaissance is usually chosen by customers looking to replace a broken item, extend a premium service or add matching tea and serving pieces to an existing set. Availability depends on what comes back into the pre-loved market, so individual pieces may appear only occasionally.
