History: This is a Royal Doulton porcelain flower pot with integral underplate, decorated in the neoclassical "Countess" pattern. The registration number 523784 corresponds to a design registered in the early 20th century, around the 1910–1915 period. The green transfer-printed festoon motif with medallions and bows reflects Edwardian tastes influenced by the Adam style, a neoclassical design trend popular in England at the time.
 
 
The backstamp includes the crowned lion atop a crown and the interlinked "Doulton" circle — typical of Royal Doulton wares produced between 1902 and the 1930s. This piece would have been part of a larger suite of jardinières or cachepots, likely used indoors for ornamental potted plants.
 
 
Condition appears stable with expected wear for its age and no significant cracks or chips visible in the images. Its value is moderate, appealing to collectors of Royal Doulton decorative wares, Edwardian design, or period horticultural accessories.
