Ridgway Ware |
A type of Staffordshire pottery first produced by the brothers Job
and George Ridgway in 1792 at Shelton, Hanley,
Stoke-on-Trent.

Despite family devisions, the Ridgways continued to
produce their high-quality earthenware with blue printed designs well into the
20th century. The Ridgway potteries made tea, dessert, and dinner services of a
hard-wearing type of porcelain to compete with Minton
ware, who's designs the imitated as well as those of Worcester, Rockingham,
and Spode.
