HISTORY/MARKS:  John Aynsley established his pottery in Longton, England in 1775 using local Staffordshire clay and elaborate designs.   The company prospered, but his grandson, John Aynsley II, changed the focus of the business from pottery to fine bone china by adding 50% calcined bone ash to his porcelain compound.  This produced a fine bone china that was exceptionally white, extremely strong and translucent.  In 1861, he opened the Portland Works in Stoke-on-Trent to produce the many unique Aynsley designs that were becoming exceedingly popular.  Queen Victoria commissioned Aynsley China to produce a full service for her personal use.  This allowed the company to use the royal family seal in its logo, therefore, affirming the company’s reputation.  The company remained in the ownership of the Aynsley family until becoming a publically listed company in 1948, still under the leadership of the Aynsley family.  In 1970, the company was taken over by Waterford and by 1997 it became a part of the Belleek Pottery Group.   Today Aynsley China, Ltd. is still known for craftsmanship and fine production techniques.  The mark on this is identified as used in the 1960-1969 time period.


Condition is very good. No chips, cracks, or crazing.  There is no wear to the gold on the cup or saucer.
