AYNSLEY CHINA BANQUET cup and saucer
John Aynsley founded Aynsley in 1775. Initially using local clay to produce earthenware newest pieces, Aynsley introduced a line of silver luster wares featuring transfers based on engravings. Aynsley and Company was first registered as a pottery in 1810. When John Aynsley died in 1829, his son James Aynsley became manager of the company.
John Aynsley II assumed control when his father James died in 1841. John II introduced the bone china formula for which Aynsley become famous. John II altered the manufacturing process. Porcelain clay was mixed with 50 percent bone ash. The result was an extremely strong, translucent china with a clean white color. The new porcelain provided an ideal surface for the application of intricate nature-inspired patterns and gilding. In the 1840s and 1850s, Aynsley made primarily tableware and decorative pieces, with a focus on tea ware featuring intricate patterns on traditional shapes.Queen Victoria granted Aynsley a warrant as supplier to the Royal family because she liked their bone china dinnerware so much. This explains that there is still a crown in Aynsley's light green stamped hallmark.
