The Doulton Fountain in Glasgow is a terracotta masterpiece. Designed by Arthur Edward Pearce for Doulton to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887, it became Doulton's main display piece for the 1888 International Exhibition in Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow. It now stands at Glasgow Green close to the People's Palace. The sculpture of this partcular allegorical group representing Australia was modelled by Frederick W Pomeroy. Extensive restoration work on the fountain in recent times was undertaken by the craftsmen at Hathern Terra Cotta in Leicestershire.

The pillars on the wall and fence along the frontage of the Birmingham Children's Hospital in Steelhouse Lane are part of the former Birmingham General Hospital (1892-7, architect William Henman). The terracotta was supplied by Doulton’s from their Rowley Regis works.
