ith scenes from
"Coaching Days &
Coaching Ways"
Made by Ridgways, England, by
Special Permission of MacMillan Co.
As early as 1792, the Ridgway brothers produced
quality
earthenwares in Shelton, Staffordshire, England. Ridgway
factories produced almost every conceivable kind of pottery.
One of the branches produced a line called Coaching Days
and Coaching Ways.
The Coaching Days and Coaching Ways series was created
on an amber brown transferware pottery with black transfers.
It was made in the 1890's to the 1920's. The series features
illustrations chosen from ones by Hugh Thomson & Herbert
Railton, that were contained in the book “Coaching Days and
Coaching Ways” by W. Outram Tristram. The book was first
published in 1888.
Each item showcases different scenes from routes along old
English stagecoach roads. The coaches traveled between inns
and villages and the scenes featured on the pottery highlight
the travel and inns. Some of the buildings are still standing today.
Macmillan & Co. refers to a book publisher in London, England
and New York. They owned the copyrights to the book and the
illustrations.
