The origins of this much loved pottery can be traced back to 1858 with the founding of Francis Morley & Co. In 1862 the business was renamed G L Ashworth and Brothers, who were to become a large and succesful manufacturer of domestic tableware. Many of their designs were heavily influenced by the popular oriental styles of the time. The Ashworth name was dropped in 1968, when the firm became Masons Ironstone China Ltd and in 1973 they joined the Wedgwood Group.
The objective of this gallery is to display photographs of the many discontinued designs from the Masons Pottery. These designs will include retired tableware, collectibles and giftware. We hope that this will serve as a useful point of reference for those people trying to identify their retired Masons dinner sets, tea services and collectables.
Should you see a flashing lightbulb like the one below, then there is a special offer on the Masons dishes 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.
