Royal Doulton

Founded in the 19th century as a producer of ceramic drainpipes, water filters and sanitary wares, Doulton expanded into the field of decorative ceramics, first from its Lambeth factory and then later from Burslem in the Staffordshire potteries. The factory became known as Royal Doulton after it received the Royal warrant at the turn of the 19th/20th century.

Still producing tableware, figures and other ornamental pieces, over the centuries it has employed some of the best known names in art pottery from George Tinworth and Hannah Barlow to Charles Noke and Leslie Harradine.
