About Mayer & Sherratt
Mayer & Sherratt manufactured china at the Clifton Works in Longton and used the trade name Melba China. The source considers it likely that the business closed in 1941 under the Wartime Concentration Scheme and later reopened as Melba China Co. Ltd. Its products included tea wares, souvenir wares and the Dolly Varden pattern.
