Royal Doulton "Clarendon"

Royal Doulton Clarendon has the formal character of one of Royal Doulton's finer tableware services. The design combines a crisp white body with ornate gold-coloured filigree, gold trim and a soft aqua-green band, giving the pattern a refined dinner-service feel without making it too heavy.

The hint of green within the gold border is an important part of Clarendon's look. It softens the gilded decoration and gives the pattern a slightly fresher appearance than a plain gold-on-white service, while still keeping the polished, special-occasion character expected from a premium Royal Doulton design.

Clarendon is known with the pattern number H4993, which is useful when matching pieces. Services of this type were made for a formal table setting, with dinner, tea and serving ware forming the wider range, including cups, plates, bowls, jugs, teapots and serving pieces.

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