What started as a hobby by John Aynsley in 1775, grew to a brand synonymous with craftsmanship of elegant English fine bone china. Aynsley was a favoured supplier to members of the British Royal Family and the wealthy. In 1997, it was acquired by the Belleek Pottery Group and in 2014, closed its factory in Longton, Staffordshire.
