Early plate from Royal Doulton’s series ware - Haiwatha, with the lines of the Longfellow poem “ Never any deed of Daring but himself had done a bolder”. Series of Haiwatha was introduced in 1908, and was modified in 1938, with more colour added to the border. Since this plate has only a faint blue background wash on the sepia border, I would think this dates to 1908 - 1938 period. It has no series number either, so probably dates to the very early part of this period.
Plate measures 26.5 cm (10.1/2 inches) diameter. It has some faults: There is a hairline on the edge rim at 10 o’clock, and on the rear of the plate, this runs to a stained area, with a small repaired chip on the under edge of the plate.
One of the rarer Doulton plates, and a good display item.
