Location and period of operation:

c.1980s?

2020?

 

Bone china manufacturer in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, England

  • In 2013 their web site stated "over 30 years of experience in china manufacture". Ware is described as "The finest bone china mugs manufactured in Staffordshire the home of the Pottery Industry." 

  • Located originally in Birches Head Road and later Millrise Road, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent.  It is likely that Ashley Fine Bone China do not manufacture themselves but outsource their designs. 

  • Products are listed as "fine bone china mugs and gifts, including animal motifs, flower patterns, fishing and golf motifs, representing your love of the garden, home or hobby" and "gift boxes and horse and pony mugs and gifts."

  • As of September 2020 the Ashley web site stated that it is off line "until Spring (April) 2020". However the web site was later taken down and as of September 2022 no longer exists.
