Operating originally in London, its reputation grew in The Potteries, where it was a latecomer compared to Royal Crown Derby, Royal Worcester, Wedgwood, Spode and Mintons. Its products include dinnerware, giftware, cookware, porcelain, glassware, collectables, jewellery, linens, curtains and lighting. The Royal Doulton Company began as a partnership between John Doulton, Martha Jones, and John Watts, with a factory at Vauxhall Walk, Lambeth, London. The business specialised in making stoneware articles, including decorative bottles and salt glaze sewer pipes. The company took the name Doulton in 1853. By 1877 Henry Doulton had established the name of the Doulton Lambeth art wares and set up factories making sanitary, industrial and architectural products in Rowley Regis, St. Helens and Smethwick. He decided to accept an invitation to invest money in Pinder, Bourne & Co., Burslem, a medium-quality earthenware factory. Within ten years he had enlarged the factory three times, built a china works, taken on the largest and most gifted group of artists in the Potteries, and developed for Doulton a reputation for craftsmanship and artistry still identified with Royal Doulton today. Three of its brands were Royal Doulton, Royal Albert and Mintons. These brands are now owned by WWRD Holdings Ltd (Waterford Crystal, Wedgwood, Royal Doulton), based in Barlaston near Stoke-on-Trent. Weirs & Sons Ltd - founded in 1869 by Thomas Weir. Thomas Weir came to Ireland from Scotland in 1865 where he found employment as head jeweller at West & Son's. In 1870 he decided to brunch out and bought a little shop at 5 Grafton Street, Dublin. The business was growing and soon he needed bigger premises which could accommodate him and his 5 sons who were also in business with him. They bought a corner shop at 3 Wicklow St. They soon became the biggest jewellers in Ireland specialising not only in jewellery but all luxurious goods; clocks, glasses, porcelain, etc. They had brunches in Cardiff, Manchester, Swansea, Nottingham and London which were run by his sons. They were commissioned by Royal Dublin Society to make Aga Khan trophy which is presented every August at the Dublin Horse Show to the winning team. The company is still a family run business and currently has fourth and fifth generation family members working in it.
