The Royal Doulton Bayeux Tapestry seriesware pattern was introduced in 1907, making it one of the first patterns to be launched.

Over 200 feet long and on display in its own museum in Bayeux, Normandy, the tapestry tells the story of the Norman conquest of England in 1066. This rare and exquisite plate is in excellent condition without chips or cracks. It has a beautiful crazing and the hallmark on the reverse dates it between 1907-1922.
