Aye Aye Aynsley
John Aynsley and Sons LTD. was founded in Stoke-on-Trent in 1775. The prosperous
china company that has now been in business for over 200 years grew from a small
fledgling pottery that originated as a hobby!
John Aynsley's grandson, John Aynsley II, introduced fine bone china production
to the pottery in the mid 19th century. The immediate success of Aynsley's fine
china resulted in the building of a separate factory in 1861 built solely for
manufacturing the new wares. That factory, known as the Portland Works, is still
at the center of the manufacturing base of operations in Stoke-on-Trent today.
Aynsley's current product lines include fine tableware, giftware and bone china
flowers. Royal families and heads of state around the world have chosen Aynsley
for their tables.
Aynsley is now part of a large tabletop wares group that includes the beautiful
Belleek porcelain from Ireland, and fine Galway crystal. The "Cottage Garden"
pattern is one of Aynsley's all time popular patterns
