History
Doulton and Company was established in London, 1815. John Doulton originally began producing sewage pipes, bathroom ceramics, and storage jars. His son Henry joined the business a few decades later and by 1877 they had acquired an earthenware factory in Burslem, Staffodshire. Notably, Henry became the first potter to receive a knighthood. He was also instrumental in creating partnerships with local artists. Through these efforts, Doulton and Co. gained a reputation for their artistry and design. Additionally, they became known for architectural work, creating facades and decorative sculptural elements. The company received their Royal Warrant in 1901, allowing them to use “Royal" in their title. Over 200 years since their founding, Royal Doulton is still a popular producer of ceramics and tablewares and continues to establish partnerships with artists and designers.
