About Royal Doulton
Royal Doulton has made tableware since 1815 and positions itself around slowing down and savouring the moment, which in practice means casual porcelain and stoneware for everyday use rather than display. Its Pacific collection takes textured shells and seashore markings into urban dining. It is designed in England and came to Fiskars with the WWRD group on 2 July 2015.
