Hammersley

Hammersley's history starts in 1862. Harvey Adams, Robert George Scrivener and Titus Hammersley established the pottery.
In 1887, the name of the company became "Hammersley & Co."

For me, identifying Hammersley porcelains is a bit complicated.

According to my research, there were three mergers and acquisitions, and they changed the company name.

Around the 1970s, Hammersley was taken over by SPODE Group.

There’s Thomas Goode & Co Ltd stamp. I can guess there was a collaboration with T. Goode in the early 1900s.

As I mentioned above, Spode Group acquired Hammersley around 1970.

Did they use the same mark or just stamp the Spode group mark?

What I can only say is that the one was shown to market after 1970.
