A wonderfully evocative English sporting antique, this Royal Doulton fox hunting seriesware smoking set captures the romance and pageantry of the hunt in richly detailed porcelain form. The lidded rectangular box features a classic mounted fox hunting scene, while three original inset trays depict hounds and fox motifs, all rendered in the tradition of Royal Doulton’s celebrated narrative “Seriesware.”
Originally designed as a gentleman’s smoking set, this piece may also be repurposed beautifully as a desk accessory, trinket box, or decorative catchall for a study, library, or sporting-inspired interior.
This example retains the lidded box and three original inset trays, and presents in beautiful antique condition with no cracks, chips, or crazing observed.
A rare and highly decorative piece for the collector of English sporting antiques, Royal Doulton, or the well-appointed home.
