Location and period of operation:

Richard H Grove

Longton

1862 (1853?)

1869

 (See sources)

Luster, China and earthenware manufacturer at the Palissy Works, Chancery Lane, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent

Subsequently: Grove & Robinson  (1870-71)

Jewitt states that "These works in Chancery Lane were erected in 1862 by Richard H. Grove..." 
The 1861 census records that Richard H Grove was
"a China manufacturer employing 15 men, 16 women, 4 boys and 3 girls" so we do know that Grove was in business before 1862.
