In 1878, Sir Henry Doulton purchased Pinder, Bourne and Company of Burslem. Then, in 1882, the company became Doulton and Company, Ltd, when a second factory was built in Burslem which still continues to produce the famous figurines, jugs, and table wares. Porcelain production and earthenware production was added to its offerings in 1884. Doulton figures were made at the Burslem plants from 1890 until 1978.
