Royal Doulton Seriesware Bayeaux Tapestry Tobacco Canister Humidor

Royal Doulton's premier designer, Charles Noke, created numerous designs for their Seriesware range at the end of the 19th century. The idea was to create useful pieces like dishes, vases, and even tobacco canisters with decorative and beautiful patterns. They would follow a theme, but not necessarily be identical patterns on the varying types of pieces, driving people's desire to collect them.

This scarce tobacco canister example is part of the series Bayeaux Tapestry
