Description

A charming Royal Doulton nursery rhyme cup and saucer from the early 1930s, decorated with playful storybook scenes including the cat with its fiddle and classic children’s characters. With its warm ivory body, distinctive angular cup and scalloped saucer, this set brings a gentle, nostalgic charm to a shelf or cabinet, especially when styled with vintage children’s books or soft, cottage-style décor.

The base carries the Registered Design number Rd 764873, issued in 1931, along with pattern reference D5187. These marks confirm the original Royal Doulton registration and early 20th-century production. A delightful piece for those who appreciate English storybook motifs and elegant vintage ceramics.
