Regency china was a stoke on Trent business, owned by Harry Whalley. The business went into liquidation over 10 years ago when he sadly passed away. He had a keen interest in birds and flowers and this is represented in his lovely pieces. A fantastic gentleman and business man. The History of Staffordshire china The history of the Staffordshire china potteries goes back at least to 1467 when 'row coal' surface seams were being utilized for firing pottery. The area had the advantage of readily available red-burning clays and 'long flame' coal which was necessary for kiln burning. By 1740 Stoke-on-Trent was the center of pottery making in England. By 1800 Staffordshire china was the most prominent in the world. source: www.thepotteries.org Tags: Staffordshire china, Regency china, Made in England, English bone china, floral teacup set, teatime,
