John Doulton 1793-1873 John Doulton, born on November 17, 1793, was a pioneering figure in English pottery. He began his career at Fulham Pottery and later founded the company that would become known as Royal Doulton. His innovative approach to pottery production and his dedication to quality craftsmanship laid the foundation for the company's enduring legacy. Doulton's work extended beyond utilitarian stoneware, as he also experimented with decorative pottery and collaborated with artists to create unique pieces that reflect the artistry of the time. His son, Henry Doulton, continued the tradition, further expanding the company's reach and influence in the world of ceramics. In 1815 John Doulton didn't know he could move mountains. But he invested his life savings, £100, in a small London pottery operation. Call it luck, wisdom or business acumen, but from a maker of storage jars and ceramic sewage pipes grew a leader in design-driven, technically innovative manufacturer of fine tableware.
