Royal Doulton traces back to 1815, when potter John Doulton founded the company in London; production expanded to Stoke-on-Trent in 1877, and the "Royal" name was granted by King Edward VII in 1901. The company launched its now-famous HN figurine series in 1913, eventually growing to thousands of designs. Today, Royal Doulton comprises several ceramic factories and also owns Minton, Royal Crown Derby, Royal Albert, and Caithness Glass, making it one of the world's largest manufacturers of bone china, crystal, giftware, and figurines.
