Booths was created in the 1850's by Thomas Booth, who produced earthenware sanitary and dinnerware in Tunstall. Since then, ownership of the Booths name has passed through several firms, including the Pearson Group and Ridgway, until becoming a part of Royal Doulton in 1971, where it was used until the mid-'80s.
