Royal Doulton is a quintessentially English name in tableware and collectables with a pedigree dating back to 1815. Headquartered in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England it is now part of the Waterford Wedgwood group.

Royal Doulton began as a partnership in Lambeth, London, in 1815 specialising in stoneware bottles and sewer pipes. The Victorian revolution in hygiene and sanitation proved crucial, providing a base on which to develop a portfolio of tableware and commemoratives. The company moved to Nile Street, Burslem in 'The Potteries' in 1882, attaining a Royal Warrant in 1901 to effectively put the royal into Royal Doulton. There it developed a culture of innovation - married to a quality heritage - which lives today in its tableware and collectables.
