The story started back in 1896 when the inno-
vative Price Brothers founded their earthen-
ware 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 and in 1934 they moved to the Top
Bridge Works in Longport, where they became
known as Price Bros Ltd. During their time at the
Top Bridge Works 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 fami-
ly. 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 Hardy Richardson shaped
the Ravenhead range, producing iconic designs
which are still well recognised today.
