DESCRIPTION
The Cavelier 1940 Royal Doulton has a long and distinguished pedigree dating back to 1815.When Royal Doulton started with a factory at Vauxhall Walk, Lambeth, London, as a partnership between John Doulton, Martha Jones, and John Watts. The business specialised in making stoneware and produced decorative bottles and salt glaze sewer pipes. During the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) a revolution occurred in personal sanitation and doulton's lead in domestic and industrial stoneware helped make it Britain's top manufacturer of sanitary ware. It also set the firm as a key player in the field of artistic pottery. In 1901, the popularity of Doulton products came to the attention of the Royal family and the Burslem factory was granted the Royal Warrant by King Edward VII, and the business adopted bold new markings and a new name: Royal Doulton. In December 2004, Production ceased at the doulton factory and in March 2005 the Visitor's Centre closed. In September 2005, The once bustling 15 acre site closed completely. The land was sold to property developers and another fine part of Englands heritage was lost; to make way for modern housing.
