The potteries were affectionately known as the city of a thousand artists, many of them creating their works at home – and through history Royal Doulton, Doulton Lambeth, Spode, Coalport, Aynsleys, Crown Derby, Wedgwood and other pottery companies utilised the skills of such craftsmen, grooming them to their own specialities. This section lists the Royal Doulton artists and identifies, as much as is possible, the monograms and artists marks and dates of employment, which can be viewed via the scroll-down device - and will also provide links to the artists’ individual pages, to include examples displaying how capable they are. Because the Royal Doulton archives are not available and all of the artists and monograms are not yet identified, this will be an invaluable section to allow collectors and contributors to input with new data.
