History: These pieces have the W.R.S.& Co. Ridgway's Mark that existed during the period of ca. 1838 to 1847. W.R.S. & Co. is the abbreviation for William Ridgway, Son & Company that operated at Church Works, Hanley, Stoke-upon-Trent, England. This era of the Ridgways companies followed the John & William Ridgway [ca. 1814-30] and was concurrent with William Ridgway (& Co.) [ca. 1830-54] and Ridgway & Abington [ca. 1835-60]. This evolution signified when William Ridgway took his son Edward John (James) Ridgway into business with him at the Church Works. Leonard J. Abington was also a partner thus making the '& Co' of William Ridgway, Son & Co. In April 1847 William Ridgway retired from the business - Edward J Ridgway and Leonard J Abington continued as Ridgway & Abington, thus no longer operating under the W.R.S.& Co. name from that date forward.
