1815 was the year John Doulton founded his now world-famous pottery; and to commemorate that heritage, Royal Doulton has created the 1815 pattern. This set of 23cm plates are rendered in vivid shades, with a simple, but striking silhouette and a timeless elegance and sophistication. 1815 is a range designed for how we eat today and takes inspiration from Royal Doulton's heritage, the year it was founded by John Doulton focusing on the authentic look and feel of traditionally crafted ceramics. Stylish pieces, hand-thrown shapes and dipped glazes bring the best of the past into the present with a myriad of vibrant coloured glazes that brighten the day and make sharing great food with friends and family a pure pleasure. The decorative subtle dipped glazing technique developed for the original Royal Doulton Lambeth pottery means each item is given a stylish, unique finish and then impressed with an 1815 icon.
