Royal Doulton Furniture

British

The redoubtable British ceramics maker Royal Doulton has long embraced popular tastes and enjoys a devoted following among aficionados of English pottery. Some are drawn to the company’s intricately decorated bone china dinner services; others are passionate collectors of Royal Doulton’s artfully hand-painted figurines, vases and bowls.

When founded by John Doulton, Martha Jones and John Watts in 1815, in the Lambeth section of suburban London, the manufacturer produced bottles and other storage containers and even sewer pipes in stoneware, a cheap but durable cousin of porcelain. Amid the Victorian era’s rising concern for hygiene, food safety and sanitation, the company flourished. During the late 1850s — having rebranded as Doulton & Watts and then Doulton and Co. — the firm was colloquially referred to as Doulton Ware. And in the late 1870s, it expanded its business into the applied arts.

The firm took over a factory in Staffordshire, in northern England — the traditional home of British ceramics manufacturing — to produce tableware. Around the same time, Doulton opened an art pottery studio in Lambeth, where vases, urns and other forms were decorated with painted scenic images, flowers or historical motifs. 

Taking a cue from the venerable Meissen porcelain workshops in Germany, Doulton artisans began crafting figurines modeled on characters from literature and theater. The firm also helped popularize Toby Jugs and other “character mugs” — handled cups shaped as the heads of figures from folklore and popular culture. Doulton purchased a factory in Burslem in 1882, and King Edward VII granted the factory his Royal Warrant in 1901.

Royal Doulton china will always make an elegant yet not-too-formal appearance in a traditional table setting. Prices for dinner services vary according to size, age and condition, but generally range from $2,000 to $15,000

Authentic Royal Doulton art pottery might be used by some as a bright decorative note; others collect the company’s figurines with the same interest and dedication as stamp and coin enthusiasts. A typical Toby Jug might fetch $50, while very rare figurines can sell for $7,000. Most of the finest Royal Doulton art pottery pieces sell for around $500

As you will see on these pages, few decorative-arts companies are as aesthetically and stylistically diverse as Royal Doulton. The firm truly offers something for everyone.

Located in Atlanta, GA

Set of Twelve Royal Doulton “Shakespeare’s Country” Artist-Signed Scenic Plates by J. Hughs, for Ovington Bros., New York, Circa 1902–1922 A rare and complete set of twelve hand-painted cabinet plates by Royal Doulton, produced between 1902 and 1922, each executed in finely detailed enamel and individually signed by the artist J. Hughs, one of the factory’s most accomplished landscape decorators. Commissioned for and retailed by Ovington Bros., New York, this series belongs to the celebrated “Shakespeare’s Country” theme, depicting landmarks and literary sites associated with William Shakespeare and the pastoral beauty of Warwickshire. Each plate is masterfully painted with a distinct English scene—castles, chapels, cottages, bridges, and village landscapes—capturing the romantic vision of early 20th-century England. The painterly approach, with soft-focus skies and layered perspective, reflects the Edwardian taste for sentimental and historicist views, executed here with remarkable skill. The scalloped rims are enriched with elegant raised gilt scrollwork, adding a regal finish to each composition. Titles include: Anne Hathaway’s Cottage...

By Royal Doulton

Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire

A Doulton & Co late 19th century sink with cast iron wall brackets, from the Simon Kirby Museum of Bathroom Sanitaryware collection. Dating to circa 1890, this antique sink has a graceful form with an elegant, shaped splash back and moulded soap dishes. With some light wear, this beautiful antique sink will look stunning in the bathroom of a Victorian townhouse or a similarly themed vintage ensuite. The Simon Kirby Museum of Bathroom Sanitaryware Sanitaryware extraordinaire and enthusiast Simon Kirby was the proud owner of a rare and impressive collection of antique toilets, basins and baths. Until 2016 Kirby was the managing director of Thomas Crapper & Co; he spent more than 40 years carefully sourcing these specialist pieces, making it his vocation to ensure such rare and valuable sanitaryware was saved and preserved, creating what was known as the Thomas Crapper Museum. Over the years, the company museum has not been open to the public, with only a few history enthusiasts and keen customers having been invited to view. Names such as Thomas Crapper, George Jennings, Shanks, Doulton and Co and Twyfords form part of this outstanding collection that demonstrates the development of sanitaryware over the centuries. Although Kirby sold the iconic Thomas Crapper company nearly ten years ago, he remains an expert in the history of the ‘smallest room’ and now serves as a consultant to the Royal Household. Here at UK Architectural Heritage Ltd...
