ram1964 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Could we commission royal doulton to make some thing collectable ,been trying to buy a derby county Amari ram but going for about £250 on eBay ,how about some commrative figures / figurines or a collectable ram to comemarate our history ,possible promotion ,these could be limited editions commissioned by local pottery and something to buy other than a shirt ,scarf or hat .sure if 1000 of each type of figure was produced they would very quickly sell .price point should be £100 - £150. And I am sure would generate a good income for the club especially if produced as part of an ongoing Collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRamFan Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 16 hours ago, rebb1 said: Crown Derby use to be owned by Royal Doulton. Not quite... 1964 Royal Crown Derby was acquired by S.Pearson and Son, the Pearson family company, to become part of their Allied English Potteries group. Brian Branscombe was appointed Art Director, and established the new Graphic and printing departments. Pearson subsequently Bought Royal Doulton. The company was then merged into the larger group. 2000 Hugh Gibson, a former director of Royal Doulton and member of the Pearson family, leads a buy-out of Royal Crown Derby. Once more the firm becomes an independent and privately owned concern, during the year in which it also celebrates 250 years of manufacture of porcelain in Derby. Today With the retirement of long time owner Hugh Gibson, Royal Crown Derby enters an exciting new phase in it’s illustrious history by being acquired in 2013 by one of the world’s most successful ceramic brands, Steelite International. The company remains firmly committed to the highest quality UK manufacture and sets its sights on launching into a new market providing fine bone china tableware to luxury hotels, high-end restaurants and hospitality throughout the world. http://www.royalcrownderby.co.uk/history/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
