Royal Doulton - Porcelain Company (British, founded in 1815)
Royal Doulton is a world-renowned British ceramic manufacturing company producing collectibles and tableware. It originated in London in 1815 and expanded its size and reputation through both acquisition and organic growth. From the 1860s, the firm made considerable efforts to get a reputation for design, in which it was largely successful, as one of the first British makers of art pottery. Today its products include porcelain, collectibles, dinnerware, glassware, giftware, jewelry, linens and more.
From 1853 to 1902 its wares were marked Doulton & Co., then from 1902, when a royal warrant was given, Royal Doulton.
Three key brands now comprising what is called Doulton Home, are Royal Doulton, Royal Albert, and Minton. Doulton Home is now part of WWRD Holdings Limited (Waterford, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton) and most of the current production for these three brands is performed outside of the United Kingdom, in the Far East and Indonesia.
Royal Doulton commonly stamps their work with a seal of “Doulton & Co” or “Royal Doulton”.
