Leslie Harradine (1902-1915), started at Doultons in 1902 at the age of fifteen. He was a most gifted modeler, shaping numerous figurines, and he brought to Doultons the concept that vases can have square corners. Some of his political and rustic figures were so popular that they continued to be made until the late 1920s. He did not stay long at Lambeth, leaving in 1908, but he continued to design for them, working freelance until 1915. After the First World War he worked for Doulton Burslem for another thirty years.
