Royal Stafford - Shop

Royal Stafford has a rich history dating back to its origins as 'Thomas Poole” and later Thomas Poole (Longton) Ltd who produced china, majolica and earthenware.

In 1948, Thomas Poole merged with “George Procter & Co” and renamed the company “Gladstone China”which produced both earthenware and bone china.

Although the company was renamed Royal Stafford Fine China Ltd in the 1990’s, Royal Stafford was a trade name used from around 1900 until the company’s final demise in 2007.  Only earthenware was produced after about 1992.
