Manufacturer: J & G 'Grosvenor China', Hampton (Ye Olde English):

Jackson & Gosling (Ltd), Fenton, Staffordshire Potteries c.1866-1961

 

This famous partnership was established at the Grosvenor Works in King Street, Fenton, in about 1866, succeeding Jackson & Brown (c.1864). In 1909 the address was changed to the Grosvenor Works, Gregory Street, Longton. The firm became a limited liability company in 1928, although 'Ltd" was not always added to marks.

A large range of good quality porcelains, mainly tea and coffee services, was produced over a long period. The various marks incorporate the names 'Jackson & Gosling', the initials 'J & G', 'J & GL' or J & G Ltd'.

The trade name 'Grosvenor China' was widely used. Other trade names used by this firm include 'Mancourt', 'Westbrook' and 'Winston'.

In the 19323 period Jackson & Gosling was acquired by W.T. Copeland & Sons Ltd; the standard mark then became: Copeland's Grosvenor China England.
