Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png): 

It's a beautiful blue and white ceramic bowl which I believe at one time came with a pitcher for a wash basin. It is stamped with a crown with Doulton just under the crown then at the bottom of a circular attached to the crown Burslem under that out of the crown area is England. Buttercup is the pattern. Their is a cresent moon and some #'s stamped on it 4299 or 4=99. It's my most prized posession.

Based on the Doulton Burslem marking it date 1891-1902. Value wise, in the current market you paid too much, complete Burslem basin and pitcher sets
often sell for the same.

Thanks for letting me know that I paid too much, can you tell me how much it's worth in today's market. I still love it and won't sell it anyway. Just curious.

Thanks
