The company is a direct descendant of the Ridgway firms that made pottery at Cauldon Place. John Ridgway sold his company to T. C. Brown-Westhead Moore & Company in 1855.

Harold Taylor Robinson, who owned J. A. Robinson & Sons, Ltd., bought Cauldon, Ltd. (formerly Brown-Westhead, Moore & Co.) and its Cauldon Place pottery in Shelton, Staffordshire, from the receivers in 1920. Robinson approached friends and investors to assist in his creating Cauldon Potteries, Ltd., to which Robinson sold Cauldon, Ltd. The company made earthenware and porcelain.

Robinson used Cauldon Potteries, Ltd, as the base to create a pottery empire. He merged J. A. Robinson & Sons, Ltd., and its subsidiary companies into Cauldon Potteries, Ltd. The company acquired Coalport Pottery in 1924. See less
