I checked several internet sites and replacements.com. Many have pattern names with numbers starting with "V" and near "V 430", but none had it. This is probably circa 1929 as the saucers seem backstamped (embossed) with actual dates!
This kind of information can be difficult to find. The key lies in the search criteria. A Yahoo search for "royal daulton china patterns" (include the quotation marks in the Yahoo search box) yields 104 results. If you do the same search, and are willing to spend a little time exploring, I’m sure that you will quickly find the information you seek. You might also seek out Royal Daulton china collectors websites. Many have forums where the participants have a lot of specialized knowledge regarding the subject and accurate answers are usually quick to come by.
Good luck with your search.
White oval measuring 7 1/2" long and 5 1/2" at its widest. In the center is an illustration of (I think) a Scottish castle. It appears to have the yellow/red and blue/white Scotland flags flying on a building to the right. Wrought iron gates in the front with a guard in red/black attire. royal doulton backstamp includes lion atop a crown, Made in England, ROYAL DOULTON, England, Bone China… to the right of the crown is a 5 – I’m thinking it’s from 1932. Can anyone shed any light on this beauty? I do have a photo if you’d like to see it. THANK YOU
One of this country’s largest china experts are the folks at Replacements Ltd. You could probably email them the photo and info you have and they can get back to you about it, they might even want to buy it.

depends how old it is , their website has some patterns on it, i found out what mine was by searching for royal doulton on ebay and looking at other peoples photos till i saw one like mine.
I think Bohemia is quite a bit less expensive than royal doulton as it is imported from Czechoslovakia. I realise this doesn’t necessarily make it inferior as a product but perhaps the answer lies in finding a design you really like rather than trying to distinguish quality. Any lead crystal is the best type but can’t be put in the dishwasher.

Go here and type in Olivia. She is really pretty. Wow they are expensive aren’t they?
I would also do a search in ebay.
I have a friend who is selling me one and I don’t want to get ripped off nor do I want to rip him off.
$100 to $125 dollars mark twin (9D6994) you can punch in the exact info in the yahoo search bar, not the Y answers and it takes you to a shop that sells them ..cheers
My husband has smashed mine. Whilst I’m at it, if anyone knows any spare men, now would be the time to mention it.

Have you tried Chinasearch? They are excellent for supplying discontinued porcelain and do stock royal doulton. They are online at: http://chinasearch.co.uk/store/royal-doulton/
As for spare men …. ’spare’ sounds as though you’re planning to augment your current collection, not replacing the one you’ve got. If the breakage was accidental I think augmenting or replacing your current man sound equally harsh! If it was deliberate, well now that’s another matter!
i have two royal doulton dolls
-thursday girl
-friday girl
can anyone tell me what i might get for them if i was to sell
thank you
take them to antiques roadshow lol
i have a royal dolton Toby Jug that i want to sell it is 2 inch tall approx, does any 1 know its value? i also have some royal doulton crockery where can i go to sell any ideas?
Prices for Royal Doulton Toby jugs range from $40. into the hundreds depending on the year, figure, condition, etc. The same would apply to the crockery. You might want to scroll through eBay auctions to see if anything similar is listed. If you decide to sell to dealer, bare in mind they must be able to sell at a profit. My rule of thumb is to pay 1/2 the retail value. You’d be amazed at what my overhead is even for a very small business such as mine.
