Adderley China, a name synonymous with elegance and craftsmanship, traces its roots to the heart of England’s pottery industry—Staffordshire. Founded in the late 19th century, the company quickly earned a reputation for producing fine bone china known for its delicate floral patterns, gilded edges, and timeless beauty. Originally part of William Alsager Adderley’s pottery ventures, Adderley China gained momentum under the umbrella of Ridgeway Potteries in the mid-20th century, blending traditional techniques with innovative designs.

Collectors cherish Adderley pieces not only for their artistry but also for their glimpse into British domestic life and decor from the Victorian era through the 1950s. Its teacups, saucers, and tableware became staples of high tea and elegant gatherings, admired both at home and abroad. Though no longer produced, Adderley China remains a cherished legacy of British ceramics, with each piece telling a story of refined taste and rich heritage.
