Stafforshire China was started i by brothers Thomas Allen and Spencer Green 1833 and operated from a factory named e Minerva Works, Park Street, Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent, England.
By the turn of the 20 th century, the company were producing a wide range of bone china products including dinner ware, tea and coffee ware, miniatures, vases, cutlery handles, door furniture and floral china baskets.
Both before and during World War II the company produced badged ware for the canteens of the armed forces, including the British and Canadian navy.
In 1948 two subsidiary companies were established, in Canada and America, to control distribution abroad.
The company continued to be owned and operated by the Green family until 1965 when the company was sold to Semart Importing Co. based in New Jersey, USA. Semart was an importer of tableware and at the same time as buying Crown Staffordshire China Co also purchased Wedgwood & Co.
Semart continued to use the Crown Staffordshire name until the company became part of the (Josiah) Wedgwood Group around 1973-4.
Wedgwood used the Crown Staffordshire name on specialty products until around 1985 when production of Coalport ware (also part of the Wedgwood Group) was moved to the Minerva Works and the Crown Staffordshire name disappeared.

William Ridgway English Staffordshire Transferware Platter, Flosculous Pattern
By William Ridgway
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A black on white transfer printed floral platter in the Flosculous pattern, William Ridgway & Co., Shelton, Hanley, Staffordshire England, circa 1830-1854.
A gently scalloped black-printed platter in an unusual borderless pattern. Alternating floral sprays extend outward — from a three part scroll motif in the center — up the well and onto the rim of the plate. The term ‘flosculous’ means having flowerets or composite-flowered. This stylized pattern feels very modern.
