Doulton Lambeth 19th Century Plate

Just got this lovely hand painted plate 
Has some great marks to the back.

It would appear to be a painted blank. A very popular hobby in the 19thC. There were regular exhibitions in London for painters to submit such works

Thanks Naomi

So this would have not be a commercial item for sale 

But i guess a item painted by the artist to show of there work at exhibitions

Seems by the mark it was painted my a doulton painter esther-lewis ?


Thanks as always 
Alex.
