Short lived China manufacturer at the St. George's Works Longton , Stoke-on-Trent , England Around 1958 the St. George's Works were taken by William Henry Amison (a former employee of Collingwood China) - he established Clayton Bone China Ltd. It is likely that Collingwood China Ltd. stopped production at this date. The St. George's Works was situated on Clayton Street - hence the choice of name for the new company.
In 1960 the Pottery Gazette lists the following directors: W. H. Amison, V. Copper, A. G. Devall, S. Young. In December 1962 a resolution was passed that the Company be voluntarily wound up and a Liquidator be appointed. Previously: Collingwood China Ltd Clayton Bone China Ltd Manufacturers of high-class florals and fancies.
