Gainsborough


Gainsborough Pink and Blue Flowers Vintage Bone China cup and saucer produced by Gainsborough in the 1960s.


I can't  find much information on Gainsborough bone china perhaps because they were a small mid-priced maker who never reached the heady heights of collectablilty like say, Royal Albert or Aynsley.


They must have been based in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire because their listing reads as follows:- "Gainsborough Works of Longton"

  1. Dear Carolyn:
    I have not seen that maker either but love the name Gainsborough. All the names of bone china thrill my little heart! Right when I think I have enough I seem to find another! Yours is LOVELY!

  2. Thank you Bernideen. I was thrilled to find this set in the local charity shop just before Christmas. I enjoy trying to find out about the pieces but there is not always a lot to be found on the internet which is a little disappointing.
