Royal Doulton 1937 Ryder Cup Souvenir Tea Set

This is a extraordinary 1937 Ryder Cup Souvenir Porcelain Tea Set made by Royal Doulton. This 3-piece set includes a teapot, sugar bowl and creamer and displays brilliantly.  It is not known how many, if any, other have actually survived, let alone in this exceptional condition. Our consignor, a prominent ceramics/pottery collector, has never seen another set or even an individual piece. The Doulton maker’s mark and dated/copyright of 1936 can be seen on the bottom of each piece.  For you ceramics collectors, this is an opportunity to augment your collection with an extremely rare set of historical significance and indisputable provenance.

With regard to the event that this set commemorates, the 1937 Ryder Cup was contested at Southport and Ainsdale Golf Club in England and was won by the United States team.  Due to the advent of WWII, this would prove to be the last Ryder Cup for a full decade.
