When you visit major cities around the world the chances are that you will come across something Doulton. There are lists published by collectors of all the many places around the world you can visit to see architectural Doulton. Living in London, I am lucky that there are many places to visit on the door step so to speak; from the façade of the great department store Harrods, to the interior tiles of its food halls, to the clock above the main entrance to Selfridges, to the remaining Doulton factory building in Vauxhall that I pass on the train going into Waterloo.

These are just the tip of the iceberg as Doulton’s of Lambeth had its own architectural department which flourished in the early 20th Century. Alas many places have inevitably disappeared but there are still plenty to visit.
