HISTORY/MARKS:
Royal Winton was originally known as Grimwade Brothers.  The pottery was established in 1885 by Leonard Lumsden Grimwade at Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshie, UK.  By 1890 showrooms had been purchased in Stoke-on-Trent as well as London.   In 1900, Grimwade was joined by his brothers, Edward and Sydney, incorporating the business as Grimwades, Ltd.  Its a measure of the company's success that by 1906 Grimwades Ltd. was operating from 4 factories within Stoke-on-Trent.  The business expanded rapidly merging and acquiring a number of other potteries.  By the early 1920’s, they were one of the largest manufacturers of earthenware.  In 1928, “Marguerite,” the first Royal Winton Chintz pattern, was launched becoming an immediate success.  Following an advertisement in the “Potteries Gazette” in 1929, Royal Winton became the established trade name for Grimwades Ltd. & has remained so through to the present day.  Note that current day production from Royal Winton is shipped only to addresses in UK.  Source for this is the website royalwinton in the UK.  Leaf Ware was produced from 1943-early 1950's.
