Description
Chelsea China Co. was in production between 1886 and 1896 (different sources state the opening was either a year before or a year after) but all agree it was in the late 1880s. While no founder names are available, Hugh Robertson was appointed manager whent the pottery opened. Sources say that the plant changed hands many times during its short history.
