Pair of Royal Doulton Dickens Ware Cups And Saucers Pattern Numbers D2973

A lovely Pair of Royal Doulton Dickens Ware Cups And Saucers Pattern Numbers D2973 dating to the 1920s/30s. 

Both cups are beautifully printed with one including a scene with the character, Barnaby Rudge from Dickens novel 'Barnaby Rudge,' and the other Tony Weller from 'The Pickwick Papers.'

The saucers are not quite matching in size. One has the character Sam Weller from 'The Pickwick Papers, and the other has Fagin from 'Oliver Twist.'

They are all in very good condition for their age, with no chips, cracks or restoration but some of the green decoration is missing from the cup rims. There is also some crazing, particularly on the Sam Weller saucer.

The set does have small manufacturing defects including bubbles, gazing marks, and pinholes. 

The base of each is marked with the Royal Doulton Dickens-ware stamp, their  pattern number, and the character name.
