The Royal Doulton Company is one of the most renowned English companies producing tableware and collectibles, with a history dating back to 1815. It takes its name from John Doulton who became one of the best pot throwers in London. Soon after he joined forces with Lambeth Pottery to form Jones, Watts, and Doulton that same year 1815. thus Royal Doulton has been producing porcelain ceramics and tableware for 200 years.

Over time the three-member partnership was changed to Doulton. It was his son Henry Doulton who actually built the business and relocated it to Stoke-on-Trent 60 years later. The focus was on a variety of decorative products for affluent buyers.

In 1882
Dolton began producing porcelain pieces in brilliant colors strengthened by bone china. By 1885
Dolton was producing world-class wares for an international clientele. Queen Victoria was so impressed with their wares that knighted Henry Dolton the son in 1887.
