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!

The bathroom ceramics and other utilitarian wares initially continued to be branded Doulton and Co. The company added products during the first half of the 20th century, and the tableware and decorative wares tended to shift from stonewares to high-quality bone china.

Poor, delicate Sheridan simply wouldn't be able to cope with it. One of the largest schemes they made is the Doulton Fountain [ de], now in Glasgow Green, given by Sir Henry Doulton for the International Exhibition of 1888. When the over life-size statue at the top was destroyed in a lightning strike in 1901, Doulton paid for a second hand-made statue to be produced.
