It is probable
that Crown Royal was a manufacturer bought up by Colclough China Ltd
- or more likely a trade name used by Colclough.
Colclough Bone China was founded in
1890 in Staffordshire, England 1890 by Herbert J. Colclough. Ex-Mayor of
Stoke-on-Trent, in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. Herbert was
a china lover, workaholic and man of the people. He was the man to bring fine
bone china to the ordinary people.
Colclough was both hard working and
driven – a powerful combination that worked together in the formation 'The
Colclough China Company'.
His vision for his beloved Colclough Bone China company was to get royal patronage which he succeeded in doing in 1913 when he was bestowed a royal license for his Vale China by King George 1V.
Colclough went on to innovate the
production of fine bone china for the mass market in the 1930’s which makes Colclough
an important part of antique bone china history.
Colclough's big idea was for the less
well-off to be able to buy part sets or individual pieces without having to
commission a whole expensive set, as the aristocracy and well-to-do were
accustomed to doing. Of course, this was the right idea at the right time, and
it truly worked.
This is a vintage Crown Royal bone china cup and
saucer set featuring a pink roses pattern. Made in England, this set includes a
cup and saucer, both crafted from high-quality bone china. Perfect for
collectors or those looking to add an elegant touch to their dinnerware
collection.
There appears to be a crack in the bottom of the cup. There
is a little wear on the bottom of the cup and saucer from age and use.. I notice
no chips or cracks on the saucer. The color in the roses is crisp.
