Royal Doulton was founded in 1815, in London’s Thames-side, later moving to Stoke-On-Trent England. Under the leadership of Sir Henry Doulton the company grew and gained the title ‘Royal’, from Edward Vll, with Sir Winston Churchill and Queen Mary among the most eminent admirers of Royal Doulton china. Today the company’s dinnerware graces the tables of great houses and palaces all over the world.

For nearly two centuries Royal Doulton has been the world's pre-eminent leader in creating bone china and fine china of unsurpassed quality. Royal Doulton dedicates itself to continuing its heritage of employing only the finest craftsmanship while approaching its work with a passion for ground-breaking innovation in design. At the heart of all Royal Doulton brands is a powerful connection to the artistic tradition - be it the inspiration of the Royal Doulton archives, or the abstracted artistic vision of today.

Two popular china patterns are Royal Doulton Carmina and Royal Doulton Atlanta. Royal Doulton Carmina china makes dining informal - but make it contemporary. Summoning the sea and the sun of the Mediterranean with lemons and olives in vibrant colours, Carmina fine china tableware is versatile enough for everyday use, or as tableware for any occasion. Carmina fine china a pattern is modern masterpiece from Royal Doulton - and it really will allow you to use your imagination.

The Royal Doulton Atlanta bone china pattern features a striking Greek key bead design inspired by motifs popular in Ancient Greece, brought up to date by the deepest denim blue, on a distinctively modern textured border. Every piece is edged in platinum.

(N.B. Although Royal Doulton are resigned to being often misspelt, most commonly as Royal Daulton china or even Royal Dalton tableware, we welcome the opportunity to wave the flag for ROYAL DOULTON (china, dinnerware or tableware) with whom we have enjoyed an enormously successful relationship over the past 50 years).

Care of Royal Doulton China Instructions

Royal Doulton China Usage

Royal Doulton china must not be subject to extreme changes in temperature or exposed to a naked flame. Royal Doulton plates and serving dishes can be warmed before use in an oven or hostess trolley at a temperature of no more than 100 degrees centigrade. Royal Doulton tableware with a gold or platinum trim must not be used in a microwave. Royal Doulton fine bone china should not be used for cooking purposes. Royal Doulton fine china is suitable for use both in the freezer and oven.

Royal Doulton China Washing

Royal Doulton china can be washed in a dishwasher - at a maximum temperature of 65 degrees centigrade. When washing by hand, avoid the use of scouring pads and abrasive washing detergents. Most stains or hardened-on particles can be removed by soaking the item in warm water before washing. Really stubborn stains can be removed by soaking in a mild bleach solution for up to one hour.

Royal Doulton China Storage

When storing Royal Doulton plates, try not to slide them over one another, as this may cause scratches in the glaze. The surface used on tableware is hard, however the front of one plate can be scratched by the back of another, so care should be taken when stacking.

We recommend that a paper napkin be placed between each Royal Doulton plate. Royal Doulton cups should be stored or hung from a cup hook, not stacked, as this weakens the handles.
