The Longton Hall porcelain factory located in Staffordshire, England was founded in 1750 by William Jenkinson who employed a group of Staffordshire potters, including William Littler, John Turner, and Thomas Astbury.
They were looking to produce a higher quality of porcelain than was currently available in England, and Longton Hall porcelain became known for its delicate shapes and high-quality decoration, which often included elaborate floral and gilt designs. The factory produced a wide range of items, including tea sets, vases, and figures, which were sold to wealthy clients throughout England and Europe.
The factory faced financial difficulties throughout its history possibly due to kiln failures, and it was eventually forced to close in the late 1760s. However, Longton Hall porcelain remains highly sought after by collectors, and examples of the factory's work can be found in museums and private collections around the world.
