John Aynsley Information

Aynsley china, one of the oldest names in the pottery industry, was founded in 1775 by Master Potter John Aynsley. Many of the designs dating back to the last century are deeply acid-etched on the rims, with medallions highlighted in raised gold. Aynsley has been honoured to supply specially commissioned bone china to Royalty, governments and companies all over the world. Queen Victoria, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll and his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, have all chosen Aynsley fine bone china for their homes.
