Earthenware manufacturer at the Slyvan Works, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, England

  • Following the voluntary liquidation of Shaw and Copestake (SylvaC) in 1982, the pottery was run by a workers co-operative trading under the name of Longton Ceramics. 

  • This was not a successful venture and eighteen months later the enterprise was fully taken over by United Co-operative Society and run under the name of Crown Winsor (note spelling with no 'd'). The Co-operative society already owned the Windsor Pottery works and the Crown Clarence Pottery works and so the name "Crown Winsor" came into being. 

  • In 1989 Crown Winsor closed.

Previously:  Longton Ceramics

 

 

Typical Crown Winsor ware:  

 

Crown Winsor produced general earthenware continued to produce some of the original SylvaC models. The quality of the painting was not always as good as the original Shaw & Copestake output.
