Description

1795-present
John Rose founded Coalport Porcelain Works in 1795, and the company became one of the leading potteries in England by 1830. In the 1880s, popular interest in fine china grew, and Coalport’s advertisers seized on that opportunity (see 1890 ad below). The company became a member of the Wedgwood group in 1967 and is still in business today.
