Earthenware manufacturer at the Winton Pottery, just on the Hanley side of the border of the pottery towns of Hanley and Stoke, Stoke-on-Trent, England. The works were named after Winton Wood.

Grimwade Bros produced earthenware focusing largely on tableware, toilet sets, and decorative pieces.
The designs often featured typical late Victorian patterns — floral transfers, some hand-painted accents, and subtle flow blue designs.
They earned a reputation for affordable, well-decorated wares aimed at the growing upper working and middle-class markets.

• The business was founded by Leonard Lumsden Grimwade. Leonard moved from Ipswich to the Stoke-on-Trent Potteries to work as a modeller. He quickly established his own manufacturing business.  (see biography of Leonard L. Grimwade)

• By 1886 Leonard  was joined by his older brother Sydney Richard Grimwade and together they operated as Grimwade Bros at the Winton Pottery. Another brother Edward also joined the business. 

• By 1890 new showrooms had been purchased in Stoke-on-Trent and London. 

• Around March 1900 the business was incorporated as Grimwades Ltd. (some authorities erroneously give an incorporation date of 1890)

Note that one of the marks says 'Hanley' and the other 'Stoke-on-Trent' - these were both made at the Winton Pottery Works, Stoke Road, which was located just on the Hanley side of the border of the pottery towns of Hanley and Stoke. 

The location of the works was so close to the town Stoke that the area was often locally called Stoke - so to avoid confusion Grimwade changed the location name to the more inclusive Stoke-on-Trent
