Ridgway neo-rococo porcelain set: 11 plates and 4 refined dishes
RIDGWAY MANUFACTURE circa 1830
Set of 11 plates and 4 dishes, polychrome porcelain decorated with gilt edging and floral motifs. Contours alternate with scrolls, rocaille motifs and stylized shells, in a neo-rococo style.
Founded in 1792 by brothers Job and Georges Ridgway, the Ridgeway pottery was established in Stoke-on-Trent, in the heart of Staffordshire. Known for its high-quality earthenware, decorated with blue-printed motifs, the factory is distinguished by its craftsmanship and refined decorations. Following the 1851 World's Fair, John Ridgway, heir to his father's business, was awarded the status of Queen Charlotte's royal ceramist for his outstanding bone-ash porcelain productions. In the 1940s, the Ridgway ceramics factory merged with Booths & Colclough Chian, uniting two great names in English porcelain. In 1972, this entity became part of the prestigious Royal Doulton group, perpetuating the know-how and heritage of the British ceramic tradition.
