For almost 200 years, Royal Doulton has specialized in fine tableware, glassware, ceramic giftware and collectable figurines.

Through its three brands- Minton, Royal Doulton and Royal Albert- as well as cobranded initiatives such as Monique Lhuillier, Terence Conran and Gordon Ramsey, the company offers traditional patterns and new classics with a modern flair.

Michael Doulton serves as a traveling ambassador for the company and the honorary president of the Royal Doulton International Collectors Club. He is a descendant of John Doulton, the company founder.

Doulton has 30 years of experience as the company ambassador. His product knowledge enables him to enlighten collectors seeking information about new and discontinued pieces. His yearly international tour includes face-to-face meetings which allow collectors to share their experiences and stories and also have their collectables autographed by Doulton.

Doulton's tour includes stops in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and Australia. The company promotes Doulton's tour schedule through regional mailings, advertisements and the Gallery Magazine, an exclusive publication mailed to club members four times a year.
