Aynsley's
history stretches back over the centuries—in
1775, John Aynsley established a factory at Longton,
formerly Lane End, to became one of Stoke-on-Trent's
earliest master potter. His hobby grew and prospered, and
over the next two centuries, became a leading influences in
the British china industry. His grandson John Aynsley II led
the company to the forefront of china making with the
revolutionary addition of calcined bone to the china recipe.
In
1861, Portland Works, a factory built solely for the
manufacturer of the successful new fine bone china, still
resides as their manufacturing base in Stoke-on-Trent. The
skill and artistry remains intact, even after two centuries
and modernization.
John
Caldwell founded Belleek China in 1857. Each piece is
truly unique, hand-painted by the most skilled craftsmen in
County Fermanagh, Ireland, no two pieces are ever the
same. True Irish craftsmanship, using materials and
techniques handed down from generation to generation have
paved the way to their ongoing success and have earned them
a place among industry leaders—with a
look and the feel that is uniquely Belleek.
