Coalport figures have a distinguished reputation going back to a time before records began in the 1750's when the Caughley works was run by Squire Brown of Caughley Hall.
At first they didn't make bone china porcelain, they made decorative earthenwares.
So what makes Coalport so special? One man, John Rose was the catalyst to the drive for quality which remains just as strong today over 200 years after he named a works after a small docking bay on the banks of the river Severn.
It is amazing how one man's willpower can be carried like a freight train through successive generations (Bruff and Bott, A. N. Garrett etc) - like something tangible you can taste.
"True beauty from the very earth, which we seek to own in order to decorate our dwellings and give us the comfort of craft, guile and romance."
