Royal Doulton Animals (2nd Edition) : The Charlton Standard Catalogue

Crafts, Hobbies & Home

Antiques & Collectibles

The 8th edition Royal Doulton Figurines was released in February 2002, and sold out by July, confirming the underlying demand for figurines. The market is growing, and growing to a point that we felt it necessary to begin to work on the 9th edition a good six months ahead of schedule. The 9th edition will be released in North America on January 20th; in the UK the release date will be two weeks later on February 2nd, 2004. 
This Royal Doulton market to all contrary opinions is alive and well. The 9th edition of Royal Doulton Figurines, a Charlton Standard Catalogue, will reinforce this statement many times over. The good news, over 90% of the prices are higher in this edition over the last, a handful are unchanged, with a small number in negative territory. The downward price trend started in 2000 with stock markets falling on difficult times, taking the edge off collector spending. Then came e-Bay, the on-line auction company. The number of items appearing in auction daily rose quickly, and by 2001 the number had reached nearly 4,000, that converted to a yearly basis is almost 1,500,000 items. The great magnitude of items, with the take-whatever-you-can-get attitude of the seller weighed on the market. By the end of 2003 business conditions have improved with dealers and collectors alike becoming acclimatized to on-line auctions. After all, they are just auctions, and auctions offer to all the opportunity to buy at wholesale and even at times find a bargain. By December 2003, the number of Royal Doulton items offered daily on e-Bay rose to 8,200, a 200% increase of January 2001. Thousands of new participants can only mean growth in the years ahead. 
Catalogue prices are suggested retail prices, they are prices a collector may expect to pay, possibly with a small discount, in a retail environment. 
The 9th edition has 552 pages, 520 include the introduction, listings, collecting by series, and an alphabetical index, then 32 colour pages, giving the collector a complete reference to Royal Doulton figurines. 
A new addition to the catalogue is the In Vogue series of Pretty Ladies dressed in black evening gowns. The Breast Cancer Charity figurine for research support continued this year with thirteen Canadian celebrities signing either a Dawn or Spring Morning figure. The Nostalgia series added three new figures, bringing the total to nine in the series. The M Series has been revived with the addition of ten new miniature Pretty Ladies. A very limited edition, only 200 of each new colourway, for Bathing Beauty, Brighton Belle, Summer’s Darling and Taking the Waters, was issued. The new Figure of the Year, the Collectors Club, and Event Figures are all included. The commissioned figures of Great Universal Stores, and Compton &amp; Woodhouse, plus other mail order houses in the United Kingdom are extremely difficult to find in North America. The 9th edition is available from your local Royal Doulton dealer, book stores, on-line book stores such as Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk and Barnes&amp;Noble.com or directly from the Charlton Press. If ordering from the Charlton Press please include $5.00 postage and handling.

Beswick Collectables, Ninth Edition: A Charlton Standard Catalogue

Charlton Press

Royal Doulton Jugs: A Charlton Standard Catalogue has just been released. This is the ninth edition of this popular catalogue by the Charlton Press. Long considered the bible of Royal Doulton jugs. With the rapid ever-changing market place and the constant need to update your information the Charlton Press has released its newest Jug catalogue for your Doulton Library.
 While prices for the mainstream jugs remain steady the most notable highlights in pricing~~ this year is at auction. The Clark Gable character jug recently sold for ?360, Hatless Drake realized ?185 and a Goatee Cavalier realized ?495. Pricing remains strong for the scarcer jugs.
 The black and white listings at 520 pages and colour at 32 pages has remained constant with the 9th edition. However, the number of coloured illustrations has increased to over 280. Therefore, in conjuncture with the previous editions and our next two editions this will give the collector~~ an almost complete colour image of every character jug in the Doulton Collection.
 As with previous years the commissioned models are playing an important role in 2005 with UKI Ceramics, Pascoe and Company, and Direct Ceramics all issuing short run, limited edition jugs. For example, from Pascoe and Company: John F. Kennedy in both large and small sizes, from UKI Ceramics the Great Miltary Heros Series, and from DIrect Ceramics two new flamb?jugs, The Wizard and The Witch?.
 The~~ Jug of the Year for 2005 was Lord Horatio Nelson. This jug was issued commemorated the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, the most famous naval battle of the 19th century England. For Nelson fans this is a must have jug, and for the nautical collector Admiral Nelson must be high on their list of favouraties.
 The ninth edition of the Royal Doulton Jugs: A Charlton Standard Catalogue may be purchased form your local Doulton dealer, book stores, on-line~~ books stores such as, Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk and Barnes and Noble.com, Chapeters-Indigo.ca. or directly from the Charlton Press.

Royal Doulton Jugs: A Charlton Standard Catalogue, 9th Edition

The 10th edition of Royal Doulton Jugs by Jean Dale will be released in North America on May 12th, 2008, and in the United Kingdom two weeks later on May 28th, 2008.
 After tracking the prices of Royal Doulton jugs for the past six months, using dealers websites, land and internet auctions, it became obvious that the jug market was alive and well. The downward trend in prices has stopped, certainly there are moments, especially on internet auction sites where bargains appear, but overall prices are steady to slightly higher. Although it is doubtful we will see the glory days of the late 1990s and early 2000s again, we should expect a modest rise in prices over the next year or two. All bodes well for Royal Doulton Jug market.
 The 10th edition is down 10% in page count from the 9th edition as we tightened up the book, while adding 26 new issues. Since our costs are in Canadian dollars, the strength of the Canadian dollar has resulted in our having to adjust the cover price in the different markets.
 New to the 10th edition are three new series: First World War Military Leaders, six in the series, limited to 100 jugs each; Myths, Legends and Fantasies, four in the series, limited to 250 jugs each; and U.S. World Wars, four in the series, limited to 350 jugs each. The character jug General MacArthur has been added to the Great General Series, and the Character Jug of the Year for 2007 and 2008 were Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles respectively, limited to their year of issue. The complimentary International Collectors Club jug for 2007 was the North Staffordshire Fife Player and for 2008 the Nurse.
 New images, information and colour variations have been added to Harry Simeon s Best Is Not Too Good variety of stoneware jugs and derivatives.
 The addition of 26 new jugs by Royal Doulton in a two-year period certainly does not stretch the pocket book, which makes for a better outlook for the future.
