Not much is known about the early life of Miles Mason. He was born in 1752 in Dent in the West Riding of Yorkshire. He joined Richard Farrar, importing porcelain directly from China and retailing it at 131, Fenchurch St. London. Miles married Richard’s daughter, Ruth Farrar . After 1791, when the East India Company stopped the importation of Oriental porcelain, he became partners, in 1796-7 with Green & Limpus in London as well as with Wolfe & Lucock in Liverpool, the company becoming known as Wolfe, Mason & Lucock (1796-1800). 
manufactured porcelain at the Victoria Works in Lane Delph. Both of these partnerships ceased in the early 1800's but Miles kept the Victoria Works in Fenton, for himself, operating from around 1800 until 1813. He worked with a greyish hybrid hard-paste porcelain which had been produced and was very similar to the Oriental ceramics, which he had originally retailed. Miles Mason also utilised the newly discovered white bone china as his standard body during the early 1800's. producing a porcelain of a very high quality.
