Manufacturer: Swinnerton's of Staffordshire, England pre 1959.
Diameter: 25cm.
Info: Tropical Bay with Palm trees scene. Mark on reverse "Nestor Vellum".
History:
Started by Mr. B.J. Swinnerton at Burton place, Hanley.
During the first world war a Mr. W. Bloore joined the firm and in 1917 another factory, the Washington Pottery, was acquired. (this works was vacated by 1946)
After the 1st world war Messrs. Alcock, Lindley and Bloore purchased a teapot factory.
In 1952 the old-established business of Davison & Son Ltd., was purchased.
Trading at this time was still continued under the Swinnertons name.
In 1959 the Swinnertons group was taken over by the Lawley Group.
Between 1959 and 1964, when the Lawley Group became part of Allied English Potteries (AEP), the Swinnerton name appears to have ceased.
In 1973 AEP merged with Royal Doulton and thus Swinnertons, among many other companies, became part of the Doulton group.
