The scene is accompanied by the inscribed phrase, "Watchman - What of the Night?" adding a narrative element to this beautifully crafted piece. The pitcher features a flared rim with a deep blue gradient accent and an ornately patterned handle and base adorned with floral motifs. The artistic detailing exemplifies Royal Doulton's mastery of Seriesware, combining functionality with storytelling and art. Royal Doulton backstamp.
