New Chelsea Porcelain Co. Ltd. was a manufacturer of bone china at the Stanley Works, and subsequently Bagnall St. (Chelson St.), Longton, England. It was established by brothers R.H. and S.L. Plant around 1900 and traded as Plant Bros. until about 1912 when the "New Chelsea" name was adopted. The company continued to be controlled by the Plant family, and during the Second World War it was concentrated with the parent firm at the Tuscan Works of R.H. and S.L. Plant Ltd. Post-1945, the New Chelsea business was re-established and modernized, and in September of 1951, the business and trade names were sold to Susie Pottery Ltd. and operated under the name New Chelsea China Co. Ltd.

New Chelsea Porcelain Co. Ltd. produced good quality, moderately priced bone china teaware and coffee ware.

The trade name Royal Chelsea was used from c.1943, especially on teaware for the North American market. Marks include "Chelsea", "Royal Chelsea", and "Royal Chelsea" in script above an anchor. The company was acquired by Wedgewood around 1960.
