| Information on Shelley China |
| In 1872 Joseph Shelley became partners with James Wileman creating Wileman & Co. in Stoke-on-Trent England. Wileman withdrew from the partnership and in 1925 it became know as Shelley Potteries, Ltd. Like many nineteenth-century English potteries, this firm continued to produce household items and dinnerware of considerable note. In 1966 Allied English Potteries acquired control of the Shelley Company, and by 1967 the last of the exquisite Shelley China had been produced. In 1971 Allied English Potteries merged with the Doulton group. Excerpts of the article have been taken from the Schroeder's Antiques Price Guide Twenty-Sixth Edition copyright 2008.
