Crown Staffordshire - Shop

The early Company, operating as TA & S Green was a china manufacturer operating at the Minerva Works, Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent. Porcelain was made there from the 1830s by the Green family and in 1889 the company was renamed as the Crown Staffordshire Porcelain Company.

By the turn of the century, the company were producing a wide range of bone china products including dinner ware, tea and coffee ware, miniatures, vases, cutlery handles, door furniture and floral china baskets. In the late 1920's Crown Staffordshire pioneered the large scale production of china floral ornaments and china costume jewellery for which they became famous.

In 1952 the Crown Staffordshire China Co. Ltd. was described by the Pottery Gazette and Glass Trades Review as the largest producer of china flowers in the Potteries as well as producing many figure and bird studies.

In the 1970’s, the company became part of the Wedgwood Group and Wedgwood continued to use the Crown Staffordshire name on speciality products until about 1985 when the name disappeared.
