 PROFILE
Hold on to your breakables. Royal Doulton, a leading manufacturer and distributor of ceramic tableware and giftware, is cleaning out its cupboards in favor of more modern lines. To that end, the company has sold Royal Crown Derby, a line of china that dates back to 1748. Royal Doulton produces fine china, crystal, and collectible figurines under such brand names as Royal Doulton, Minton, Royal Albert, Caithness Glass, and Holland Studio Craft. The company's products are sold in over 80 countries. Royal Doulton also licenses its name for the production of kitchen furniture, cutlery, wallpaper, and other home décor items. Well-known pottery maker and rival Waterford Wedgwood owns 15% of Royal Doulton.
