DOULTON, SIR HENRY (1820-1897) , English inventor and manufacturer of pottery, born in Vauxhall on the 25th of July 1820, was from the age of fifteen actively employed in the pottery works of his father, John
Doulton
 , at Lambeth. One of the first results of his many experiments was the production of good enamel glazes. In 1846 he initiated in Lambeth the pipe works, in which he superintended the manufacture of the drainage and sanitary appliances which have helped to make the firm of
Doulton
  famous. In 1870 the manufacture of " Art pottery "
di
was begun at Lambeth, and in 1877 works were opened at Burslem, where almost every variety of china and
porcelain
 , as well as artistic earthenware, has been produced. Works have since been opened at Rowley Regis, Smethwick, St Helens, Paisley and Paris. After the Paris exhibition of 1878 Henry Doulton was. made a chevalier of the Legion of Honour. In 1872 the " Art department " was instituted in the Doulton works, giving employment to both male and . female artists, amongst whom such workers as George Tinworth and the Misses Barlow have obtained a reputation outside their immediate sphere. In 1887 Doulton received the honour of
knighthood
 , and a few years later was awarded the Albert medal by the Society of Arts. He married in 1849 the daughter of Mr J. L. Kennaby; she died in 1888. Sir Henry Doulton took an active
interest
 , as
almoner
 , in St
Thomas
 's
hospital
