Paster Potter, William Ridgway of Hanley. Well-know in the ceramic industry in the 18th and
19th Centuries, Job and George Ridgway of Shelton, are mentioned on Allbuts map of 1802
and in 1820 they were making extensively for the American market, being among the leading
potters supplying the New World with decorated wares, showing American Buildings, scenery,
arms of the United States, portaits of Washington and other Americana. John Ridgway was
honoured by being appointed Potter to Her Majesty Queen Victoria and earned high commendation at the 1851 Exhibition. The catalogue informs the Victorian public that
The Establishment of Mr. Ridgway is one of the largest and among the best conducted of the
many factories of Staffordshire. Ridgeway materially assisted in establishing a School of
Design and founded a scholarship in this connection. the present firm specialises in vitrified
wares, tiles and a full range of tea and dinner set's. less
