Adderley, England, from 1876 – present.
It was founded in 1876 in Longton, Stoke-On-Trent in England. Its particular prosperity was facilitated by the production of bone china products. Up to 50% of calcined bone ash was added to the porcelain mass, which gave the products incredible strength and exceptional whiteness. Light, translucent, as if glowing from within, with a unique design, they quickly gained popularity, and the company acquired a solid reputation.
This company is known in England as well as in our country “Imperial Porcelain” and is also a supplier to the royal family. In the 1950s, the name was changed to Royal Adderley. Queen Victoria entrusted her with the selection of tableware for her personal use. The patronage of Her Majesty allowed Adderley to use the seal of the royal family in its logo, which confirmed the high reputation of the company and its leading place among manufacturers of tableware.
