John Doulton (1793 - 1873). John was born at Fulham, and served his apprenticeship at the famous Fulham pottery founded by John Dwight. In 1815 he went into a partnership with John Watts to acquire a small pottery in Vauxhall Walk.

The range of products widened in 1830s to include architectural terracotta and garden wares. It was the manufacture of drainpipes during sanitary revolution of the 1840s that assured the company's financial success and enabled it to venture into art pottery during the 1860s. On John Watts' retirement in 1854 the firm became Doulton & Co. Copyright Doulton & Co.
