In 1820, the trade name changed to Doulton & Watts; and in 1853 took the name Doulton & Co, following the retirement of John Watts, merging with the company founded by John's son Henry, with premises at Lambeth High Street. And the rest is History. Production of figurines and serial wares began in 1901. In 1912/13, Charles Noke, launched a new group of Royal Doulton Figures, with a HN number on all wares.
