Tuscan Fine China was founded 1878 Staffordshire, England by R. H. Plant. This area, known as the Potteries, was England's centre for the production of china. The Plant family were important potters back as far as 1775. They were a strong family business, well run by generations of family members. Tuscan specialized in decorative fine bone china dinnerware that is very fine and light. Despite their reputation for quality, the company suffered the fate of the other potteries with lower sales and higher costs after WW2. In 1967 when they were taken over by Wedgwood, who added the name "Royal" as a prefix. The mark on this china was used from 1947 to 1967.
