Credit, the history of Goss China - The Goss Collector Club :The term ‘Goss China’ is used to refer to the products of the Falcon Pottery, owned by William Henry Goss and situated in Stoke on Trent. In the early 1880’s William’s eldest son, Adolphus, joined the firm. He had been raised in a home adorned with his father’s collection of antiques. In those days an antique was a Greek or Roman pot and William was a keen antiquarian. As a child, Adolphus was encouraged by his father to take an interest in heraldry, and it was he who suggested that the company should take advantage of the new niche market of seaside souvenir collecting and produce miniature copies of Greek and Roman pots and vases, decorated with the coat of arms of coastal towns to be sold as “seaside souvenirs”.
