FALCON WARE COMPANY (1885-1964): 
Falcon Pottery in Stoke, Staffordshire was founded in 1885 by Thomas Lawrence, who later joined forces with his nephew, John Grundy, to continue the legacy. The Falcon Pottery in Stoke has a rich history in producing high-quality ceramics.
The company started in 1885 but the trade name Falcon Ware did not come into use until 1944. Made in England was added in 1947. The company was taken over in 1938 by Shaw & Copestake, who were responsible for the production of Sylvac. Falcon Ware ceased production in 1964.
