Dorothy Doughty

Dorothy Susan Doughty (Sanremo 1892 – 6 October 1962) was a British sculptor and potter. She was the daughter of poet, writer, and traveller Charles Montagu Doughty.

She is mostly known for her collection of porcelain American birds. She modeled a series of thirty-six pairs and three individual models of American birds which were designed between 1933 and 1960. They were produced by Royal Worcester, a British porcelain firm. An entire series of her porcelain birds is exhibited at the Stark Museum of Art in Orange, Texas. Towards the end of her life she also designed British birds, which were put into production after her death.
