Background of Davenport Porcelain
Davenport Porcelain was an English earthenware and porcelain manufacturer based in Longport, Staffordshire.
In 1785, John Davenport began as a potter working with Thomas Wolfe of Stoke, England.
In 1794, John acquired a pottery at nearby Longport, England, and began producing earthenware.
In 1801, he began making glass, and by 1805, he was making porcelain and ironstone china.
By September 1806, the quality of his porcelain wares was such that the Prince of Wales, later to become King George IV, ordered several dinner services.
John retired in 1830, and his sons, William and Henry, carried on the firm.
