This firm succeeded Allerton, Brough & Green.

Charles Allerton & Sons commenced manufacturing at the Park Works in Longton in 1859 and closed in 1942. They were taken over by Cauldon Potteries in 1912 but continued to use the Allerton Limited name.

Charles Allerton died around June 1863, but his four sons: William Allerton, John Bill Allerton, Charles Bradbury Allerton & Frederick James Allerton, continued the company under the original name, although before August 1887, only William & Charles Bradbury Allerton remained. Charles Bradbury retired in August 1887.

Taken over in 1912 by Cauldon Potteries Ltd., from which date they operated under the name of Allerton’s Ltd.
Many marks occur with the name or initials of this firm.

The printed marks shown here cause confusion because of the date (1831) incorporated in the marks; they were not used until the 20th century.

19th C ware was seldom marked.

: It is transfer printed in dark blue. The plate features the fabulous characters from the Punchinella puppet show (dating back to Italy in the early 17th century) of Punch, Judy and baby, along with a fanciful pipe-smoking frog. These fanciful characters are surrounded by an aesthetic display of flowers and geometrical whimsies. The pattern name is “Punch”. It was made by Charles Allerton & Sons, a pottery manufacturer in the Staffordshire region of England who was well known for his whimsical children’s tea sets. The plate is marked with the pattern and maker’s name. Plates like this were made as gifts for good children and rewards of merit, used to aid in children’s education and moral training, and to encourage their imaginations in the early to mid-19th century. The images were taken from copperplate engravings used in children’s books of the same period. The condition of this ABC plate is very good Clean and bright, and little wear. Nicely potted and the transfers were applied with a good deal of attention to detail. A tiny repair to a spot near the letter D and a very small flake off the back of the rim not seen from the front. Children’s early alphabet plates of this quality is quite scarce and highly sought after. The images are delightful, a throwback to a much simpler time. The plate will make a great addition to your collection of children’s dishes. Please email me with any questions or if you would like to see additional photos.
