Origin & Maker
The pottery company Booths was established in 1872 in Tunstall, Staffordshire, a region famous for its rich pottery tradition.
Over the years, Booths became known for producing beautiful earthenware, particularly popular for its transferware patterns like "Real Old Willow" and "Chinese Tree." These designs, which incorporated intricate blue and white or multicolor motifs, were inspired by traditional Chinese art, a trend that captivated European audiences in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Booths’ pieces stood out for their meticulous craftsmanship and quality, becoming household favorites.
By the mid-20th century, the company became part of Ridgway Potteries, and later, Royal Doulton. Today, Booths’ vintage tableware is highly collectible, treasured for its enduring beauty and historical significance.
