In this country we are lucky to have some of the best factories that produce wonderful china and porcelain goods and have done so for over a hundred years.
Drinking tea or coffee from a beautiful bone china or porcelain cup and saucer is an absolute pleasure with the beverage of choice somehow tasting so much better when drunk from them.
The most famous names associated with china production are familiar to most of us namely, Royal Worcester & Royal Crown Derby (disputed who came first as both claim top spot but both established at latter end of 18th century), Royal Doulton established in 1815 and Royal Albert established in 1896. If we come forward a little, we can name Paragon, famous for its beautifully patterned china dating from the early 1900s, Wedgwood and Spode all being prolific bone china & porcelain producers that have provided us with superb hand painted tea, coffee, and complete dinner sets that were often given as generous wedding gifts in the 1930/40s continuing into the late 1950s.
