JOHNDOULTON

JohnDoulton (November 17, 1793 – May 26, 1873) was an English businessman andmanufacturer of pottery, a founder of the firm that later became known as RoyalDoulton. John Doulton married Jane Duneau, a widow from Bridgnorth inShropshire, who died April 9, 1841. They had eight children, including SirHenry, Bob MP, Josiah and Alfred.

In1815, soon after John Doulton had completed his apprenticeship as a potter, heinvested his life savings of £100 in the Vauxhall Walk pottery of Martha Jones,Lambeth. Her foreman, John Watts, was also taken into partnership and the firmbecame known as Jones, Watts and Doulton. It specialized in industrial ware,brown stoneware, drain pipes as well as stoneware bottles for chemicals, beer,and other industrial liquids among others. Martha Jones withdrew from thepartnership in 1820 and the company moved to new premises in Lambeth HighStreet in 1826.

In1835 John\'s 15 year old son Henry Doulton was taken on as an apprentice. By1846, Henry had set up an independent Lambeth Pottery which had become theleader in industrial products, particularly sanitation products. Following theretirement of John Watts in 1853, Doulton and Watts merged with Henry\'s companyto become Doulton and Company and was highly recognized for its lines of handdecorated figurines, vases and dinnerware.

HENRY DOULTON

Sir Henry Doulton (25 July 1820 – 18November 1897) was an English businessman, inventor and manufacturer ofpottery, instrumental in developing the firm of Royal Doulton.

Born in Vauxhall, Henry was the second ofthe eight children of John Doulton (1793–1873), a pottery manufacturer, and hiswife, Jane Duneau, a widow from Bridgnorth in Shropshire.

His brother, Frederick Doulton, becameMember of Parliament for Lambeth from 1862 until 1868. His father had become apartner in a pottery business in 1815 but Henry was the most academic of hischildren. Henry spent two years at the University College School where hedeveloped a love of literature.

His father had thought Henry the leastlikely to join the family business, perhaps being destined for a profession,but in 1835, he joined the firm, as did all his brothers other than Frederick.One of the first results of his many experiments was the production of goodenamel glazes.

In 1846 heinitiated in Lambeth the pipe works, in which he superintended the manufactureof the drainage and sanitary appliances which have helped to make the firm ofDoulton famous.

In 1870 the manufacture of \"Artpottery\" was begun at Lambeth, using the skills of students from theLambeth School of Art ( later the City and Guilds of London Art School ). Thecompany exhibited at the Centennial Exposition of 1876 in Philadelphia.

In 1877 works were opened at Burslem,where almost every variety of porcelain and earthenware has been produced.Works have since been opened at Rowley Regis, Smethwick, St Helens, Paisley andParis[citation needed]. After the Paris exhibition of 1878, Henry Doulton wasmade a Chevalier of the Légion d\'honneur.

In 1872 the Art department was institutedin the Doulton works, giving employment to both male and female artists, amongwhom such workers as George Tinworth and Misses Hannah and Florence Barlow obtaineda reputation outside their immediate sphere.

In 1887 Henry Doulton received the honorof a knighthood, and a few years later was awarded the Albert Medal by theRoyal Society of Arts.

In 1849 hemarried Sarah, the daughter of Elizabeth and James Lewis Kennaby. They hadthree children, Sarah Lillian (1852-), Henry Lewis (1853–1930), and KatherineDuneau (1856–1932). His wife Sarah died in 1888. Sir Henry Doulton took anactive interest, as almoner, in St Thomas\' Hospital. 1834 Doulton and Watts establishment at High St, Lambethinvolved 12 men working 2 kilns per week.

Eventually 6 of John\'s sons joined thebusiness including John junior (the eldest) and Henry who became an apprenticein 1835. Henry was to be the driving force behind a number of innovations whichmade the name of Doulton world famous.

1846 Henry Doulton left home to start hisown business to make ceramic pipes for the sanitary market. In addition Henrycontinued to help his father\'s firm of Doulton and Watts, and both concernsgradually expanded onto adjoining land and premises.

c.1857 JohnSparkes, principal of the Lambeth School of Art, approached Henry Doulton withthe idea of producing artistic ware. While the functional pottery business wasso successful, there was little incentive to develop new product lines.Eventually Sparkes and Edward Cresy, an engineer and lifelong friend of HenryDoulton, convinced him to experiment with artistic designs. Much work wasneeded to solve the problems of making artware.
