Used to goto these things, but lately, the pickings have been sparse except if you like those figurines.

I bought some nice stuff from their sales in the past, but have to get there early, or there won't be much nice stuff left.

What country are the Doulton figurines and character mugs/jugs made in these days?

Last I heard, Indonesia. Mind you, just because it's made in England doesn't mean it's better.

Ah but the perception always was that these fine figurines were crafted from the finest clays available. This enabled them to charge exorbitant prices.

I think the quality has more to do with the painting than anything else. We have older and newer (newest being 20 years old) Doultons and there is a significant difference in paint quality due to hand painting being replaced with the spray gun.
