W. H. Grindley was an English pottery company that made earthenware and ironstone tableware, including flow blue. The company was founded in 1880 by William Harry Grindley, JP (b. 1859) of Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent. The company was founded at the Newfield Pottery by Grindley and Alfred Meakin (connected to J. & G. Meakin company), but the partnership ended in 1884 and Grindley continued alone.
Condition is Very Good with no major chips or cracks, just the normal crackling that proves it is very old. There are a couple of tiny dark spots not affecting the beautiful pattern.
