The story started back in 1896 when the innovative
Price Brothers founded their earthenware
manufacturing company in Crown Works, Burslem,
specialising in tabletop accessories and teapots.
The brothers quickly became renowned for their
distinctive designs. Through their hard work and
dedication the Price Brothers brand saw rapid
success. In 1934 they moved to the Top Bridge
Works in Longport, where they became known as
Price Bros Ltd. During their time there, the brothers
developed a strong working bond with Kensington
Potteries, who specialised in novelty teapots.
This bond grew so strong that two companies
eventually merged in 1962 to become known as
Price and Kensington.
Rich in heritage and passionate about table top
accessories and teapots, the Price & Kensington
brand continues to flourish in the Rayware family.
Whilst teapots remain the heart of the product
range and continue to be in great demand in our
diverse and contemporary catering market, mugs,
cups, and high end tea accessories are all here to
complete the package.
The Ravenhead glass factory was founded
in 1842 St Helens, England by Frances Dixon.
The family run business expanded rapidly
and was passed down from father to son for
three generations.
Primarily producing bottles, Ravenhead branched
out into domestic tableware such as bowls, jugs
and drinking glasses in the 1930s. Between 1960
and 1990, it designed many iconic glasses for the
bar and catering industry.
Single-handedly changing the perception of
glass from a functional item, to a fashionable
statement for the kitchen and home, Ravenhead
continues to pioneer solutions within the
glasswares industry. High profile designers
such as Alexander Hardie Williamson shaped
the Ravenhead range, producing iconic designs
which are still well recognised today.
Ravenhead offers diverse and contemporary
glassware, with smaller inners than other
competitors to allow flexibility when fulfilling
orders in a competitive market.
Typhoon started their journey as a small
company with a simple philosophy, to bring high

The Typhoon brand continues to be a major
player in the Rayware family. Ranges include

solutions, chopping boards, bread bins, Asian
cooking tools, scales, cast iron ware, woks and
