There is no wear to any of the gold trim. All pieces are beautiful and classically decorated. DIMENSIONS: The underplates have a diameter of 6 3/4" and a height of 1".

HISTORY/MARKS: Job Ridgway, after establishing a firm to manufacture pottery in 1774, built a factory at Cauldon Place, Hanley, Staffordshire, England in 1802. In 1808, John and William, Job’s sons, joined their father as Ridgway and Sons. This became J & W Ridgway when Job died and later John Ridgway & Co. John Ridgway became Potter to Queen Victoria hence the claim later used in 1930 to be named Royal Cauldon! He sold out his interest in 1858, dying two years later. The firm used a number of names including John Ridgway Bates & Co. (1856-1858), Bates, Brown-Westhead & Moore (1859 to 1861) and finally Brown-Westhead, Moore & Co. (1862 to 1904). The initials for these various firms formed the backstamps. In 1891 a crown became part of the backstamp. In 1905 Brown-Westhead, Moore & Co. incorporated using Cauldon Ltd.with the name changing to Cauldon Potteries Ltd. in 1920 after the firm went through receivership. The Royal Cauldon England mark was used in the 1930-1950 time period and is cited in Geoffrey A. Godden’s Encyclopaedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks as mark #824.
