SOME HISTORY......
Earthenware manufacturer at the Royal Pottery, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, England . The original partners were William J. Brown, John Steventon and W. Lees - trading as Brown & Steventon Ltd. In 1923 William Brown retired from the business - John Steventon continued with his two sons Horace and Reginald as Steventon & Sons. Originally continuing the manufacture of transferware and general earthenware for dinner, tea and toilet ware. In 1929 Harold Holdcroft, the Head Designer at Burslem School of Art, joined Stevenson's where he stayed until around 1934 - his designs contained many bold and innovative designs of dinner and tableware, vases and elephant novelty ware. The trade name 'Royal Venton Ware' was introduced around around 1930. In 1931 Gladys Scarlett and Francis Van Phillips (who were co-workers at the painting studio of Clarice Cliff) joined Steventon producing art deco style ware - both of them had facsimiles of their signature on ware they designed. In 1936 Steventon acquired the disused Cledford Works of Electro Bleach and By-Products at Middlewich, Cheshire. From around 1936 the business stopped manufacture of tableware and concentrated on production of sanitary ware and tiles. In 1963 the company employed around 500 people at the Cledford Works. (Times Newspaper - 4 June 1963). In the late 1960s Steventons investment in a Canadian plant left them overstretched and the company was acquired by Ideal Standard who continued to manufacture sanitary ware at the Middlewich plant.
