Dorothy Susan Doughty was a British sculptor and potter, much of whose best work was produced for Royal Worcester, specializing in representations of birds. Born in Italy, she was the elder daughter of poet, writer, and traveler Charles Montagu Doughty. Doughty was educated at Eastbourne School of Art, where she became a keen naturalist and ornithologist. Her sister, Frederica "Freda" Gertrude was also a sculptor and potter, including working with her sister for Royal Worcester. Doughty is mostly known for her collection of porcelain American birds. She modeled a series of thirty-six pairs and three individual models of American birds, which were designed between 1933 and 1960. They were produced by Royal Worcester, a British porcelain firm. An entire series of her porcelain birds are exhibited at the Stark Museum of Art in Orange, Texas and The Art Collection at Hebrew Home at Riverdale in Riverdale, New York, and at Audubon House of Pelican Island Audubon Society in Vero Beach, Florida. Towards the end of her life, she also designed British birds, which were put into production after her death.
EDS aims to describe and photograph all items thoroughly and accurately, however other conditions present may not have been observed or noted. We encourage you to inspect items in person during preview or by appointment, or to ask questions before bidding.

We simply cannot ship items to out of state bidders without assurance that the payment is secure and in our account. In some cases, especially where the items purchased are higher value lots, we may ask for a check, USPS money order or a wire transfer payment.
