HISTORY:
John Davenport, born in 1765 manufactured the plates and platter and began potting in 1785.
He began as a workman and later as a partner with Thomas Wolfe of Stoke.
He acquired his pottery at Longport to manufacture earthenware in 1794.
In 1830, he retired, and his two sons, Henry and William, carried on the firm until 1835, when Henry died.
The firm became William Davenport and Company. When William died in 1869, his sons took over the direction of the business, which remained in the family until 1887.

The pair of serving dishes was retailed by "Daniell London."
The A.B. and R.P. Daniell Co. was established in 1820 and began trading under the name Daniell London in 1912.
They had the charter to produce porcelain for a royal family in England.
The royal family represented by the red and gold monograms in these pieces has yet to be discovered.
