The origin of the Colclough Pottery can be traced back to 1890 when Herbert Joseph Colclough bought his own factory works.
In 1937, having already been the subject of various name changes the pottery was renamed the Colclough China Company Limited. This was not the end of the changes however, as further mergers and amalgamations brought it together with the Ridgway and Adderley Potteries, and in 1955 the introduction of Booths to the group brought about the formation of the Ridgway, Adderley, Booths & Colclough Company Ltd. Later that year it was simply renamed Ridgway Potteries Ltd, whose patterns are now of course owned by the Royal Doulton Group.
The objective of this gallery is to display photographs of the many discontinued designs issued by the Colclough pottery. These designs will include discontinued tableware, collectibles and giftware. We hope that this will serve as a useful point of reference for those people trying to identify their obsolete dinner sets, tea services and collectables.
Should you see a flashing lightbulb like the one below, then there is a special offer on the Colclough design you are viewing. Clicking on the lightbulb will take you directly to our Special Offers page.
Development of these pages is on ongoing project so keep checking back.
