It was founded in 1792 by brothers Job Ridgway and George Ridgway. From the beginning, they manufactured high-quality pottery, especially pottery with blue transfer (print) designs. They also produced bone china, targeting the middle and upper classes. After repeatedly splitting and reintegrating the business within the family, they continued to manufacture pottery for a long time, but later, in the 1940s, they merged with Booths & Colclough China Company, and in 1972, they became part of Royal Doulton. ※ About "IRONSTONE" A type of very durable pottery, which Ridgway manufactured.
