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 the affluent buyer.
