It always made some more decorative wares, initially still mostly stoneware, and from the 1860s, the firm made considerable efforts to get a reputation for design, in which it was largely successful, as one of the first British makers of art pottery. [2] Initially this was done through artistic stonewares made in Lambeth, but in 1882 the firm bought a Burslem factory, which was mainly intended for making bone china tablewares and decorative items. It was a latecomer in this market compared to firms such as Royal Crown Derby, Royal Worcester, Wedgwood, Spode and Mintons, but made a place for itself in the later 19th century. Today Royal Doulton mainly produces tableware and figurines, but also cookware, glassware, and other home accessories such as linens, curtains and lighting. No - the name Periwinkle was invented for the Keeping Up Appearances television show. The actual china used was Colclough Braganza which was part of Royal Doulton, but which was discontinued in 1996."

By 1871, Henry Doulton, John's son, launched a studio at the Lambeth pottery, and offered work to designers and artists from the nearby Lambeth School of Art. The first to be engaged was George Tinworth followed by artists such as the Barlow family ( Florence, Hannah, and Arthur), Frank Butler, Mark Marshall, Eliza Simmance and John Eyre. John Bennett was in charge of the "Lambeth faience" department until he emigrated to America in 1876, where he had success with his own pottery.

It's actually a pattern called “Braganza”, manufactured by The Colclough China Company. The Colclough China Company was founded in 1890 and taken over by Royal Doulton in the early 1970s. Braganza was discontinued in the early 1990s. In Series 3, Episode 2: Iron Age Remains, Hyacinth wants to ensure Richard isn't standing on his head in the garden with a stranger. The shame! Because it's always lovely to be reduced to the guy who “works in one of those Arab countries” and the woman who “drops things” I've got Elizabeth and Emmet here. You remember Elizabeth, from next door. Her husband works abroad somewhere; one of those Arab countries. Yes, you met her at one one of my candlelight suppers. She drops things.

In Series 4, Episode 5: Looking at Properties, poor Hyacinth is humiliated when the local police have the temerity to take her dear Daddy down to the police station when he's surely just doing what's best for the nation… Doulton was rather unusual in that most of the Lambeth studio pieces were signed by the artist or artists, usually with initials or a monogram incised on the base. Many are also dated. Until 1882, "every piece of the company's art stoneware was a unique item" but after that some pieces were made in batches, as demand grew.

Hyacinth's china pattern, described as " Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles", is actually a pattern called "Braganza" and was manufactured by The Colclough China Company. The Colclough China Company was founded in 1890 and was taken over by Royal Doulton in the early 1970s. The Braganza pattern was discontinued in 1992, and production under the Colclough name was discontinued in 1996. The main plot of the show revolves around Emmet directing a play at the local village hall, when Hyacinth is cast in the play's leading role disaster is in the making.
