Whether arranged on a dining table or displayed in a cabinet, this antique service brings charm and distinction.

Background of Ridgway Pottery

The Ridgway family was one of the most important pottery dynasties in Staffordshire, England, during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Beginning with Job Ridgway in the 1790s, the firm produced earthenwares and porcelains that came to define key developments in English ceramics.
After Job Ridgway died in 1813, his sons John Ridgway and William Ridgway took over the family’s Shelton-based pottery.
Ridgway factories were notable for their innovation in:
Colored glazes and enamel decoration, and export wares, especially for American and colonial markets
Today, Ridgway pottery is sought after for its variety, historical significance, and distinctive Regency aesthetic.
