ROYAL WINTON GRIMWADES (1885-1960) : Leonard Lumsden Grimwade (c. 1863-1931), and his brother formed the firm Grimwade Brothers in 1885. They specialised in earthenware and fine bone china.
By 1890 new showrooms were opened in both London and Stoke-on-Trent and they became Grimwades Ltd with the purchase of the Winton Porcelain Factory in 1900.
King George V and Queen Mary visited the potteries in 1913 and the brothers produced a commemorative catalogue to celebrate the event.
IN 1928 THE FIRST ROYAL WINTON PATTERN WAS PRODUCED, INCLUDING THEIR NEW CHINTZ DESIGNS FOR WHICH THE POTTERY BECAME FAMOUS AND THEY OFFICIALLY CHANGED THEIR NAME TO ROYAL WINTON IN 1930.
