Produced in the inter-war period, Royal Doulton’s Pied Piper coffee services were never widely made and were far less common than teaware trios. Complete surviving examples — particularly with the original coffee pot and a full run of matching cups — are now increasingly scarce.
This set comprises:
One tall Pied Piper coffee pot with lid
Six original matching coffee cups
Finished in Doulton’s rich brown ground with green and ochre cloisonné-style panels, this is a highly decorative Art Deco display set, instantly recognisable and seldom encountered intact.
🔸 Condition note: The pot lid shows a small glaze loss (see images). This is reflected in the price and does not detract from the overall display impact of the set — a common compromise on genuine early Doulton coffee wares.
🔍 Why this set matters
Coffee sets are far scarcer than cups or teapots alone
Complete groupings are hard to replace once separated
Increasingly sought after by collectors and interior stylists alike
Once sold, finding another complete example at this level is unlikely.
