Is Authentic Royal Doulton Made in China or Thailand?

It's been a big question for a long time already. Fans of Royal Doutlon are wondering what happened to Made in Engalnd stuff? Why new figurines have a sticker stating Made in Thailand, Made in China... Are they real?Here is an answer: THEY ARE STILL AUTHENTIC ROYAL DOULTON RPODUCTS just manufatured in different country than England. Here is what happened. On 30 September 2005, the Nile Street factory in England closed. Some items are now made in the parent gepany Waterford Wedgewood in Barlaston, south of the Potteries Conurbation. Almost all other Doulton pieces are made in China or Thailand. Royal Doulton Ltd (along with other Waterford Wedgwood gepanies) went into administration on 5 January 2009.So made in China does not neccessary mean it's a bad quality. Some very famous designer gepanies are also located in China. It does not mean people should stop buying that products. It's still same gepany, just different location. Just be sure you are buying from the trusted source (check the feedback of the seller, make sure he is selling authentic Royal Doulton).
