Bio:
Royal Doulton was founded in 1815 by John Doulton, John Watts and Martha Jones in Lambeth, London. The company developed from stoneware production into one of Englands most respected porcelain manufacturers. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Royal Doulton became particularly renowned for its decorative porcelain, elegant tableware and finely detailed hand-painted motifs. In 1901, the company received permission to use the Royal designation. Its historic porcelain is now highly appreciated by collectors of English decorative arts.
