EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and evocative photograph that offers a glimpse into the past of Coalport China Works, a renowned British ceramics factory located in Coalport, Shropshire, England. The image, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper" in December 1891, showcases the impressive and imposing factory building, which was a symbol of industrial prowess during the Victorian era. The photograph captures the factory's grandeur and the vast scale of its operations. Smoke billows from the chimneys, signaling the factory's continuous production. The building's red-brick facade, adorned with intricate white detailing, stands proudly against the backdrop of a grey, overcast sky. The factory's name, "Phillips' Coalport China," is prominently displayed at the entrance, adding to the brand's prestige. The photograph also includes a price list, which is attached to the wall near the entrance. This list offers a fascinating insight into the retailing of Coalport China during the late 19th century. The prices range from a few shillings for a single plate to several pounds for a full dinner service, reflecting the affordability and accessibility of this tableware for the British public. The photograph is a testament to the success and popularity of Coalport China during this period. The brand's reputation for producing high-quality, elegant, and affordable ceramics made it a staple in British households. This photograph not only serves as a historical record of the factory but also as a reminder of the rich industrial heritage of Coalport and the broader ceramics industry in Britain.
