How can you tell if something is Royal Doulton?

To tell if something is Royal Doulton, search the bottom or back for a maker's mark. Nearly all Royal Doulton pieces feature a marking, but the British maker's wording and logos changed over the years. Most pieces made after 1820 will say "Doulton" along with other words, while older items may feature the "Vauxhall Pottery" stamp. If you're still uncertain, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you with making an identification. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Royal Doulton porcelain.
