Coalport China

Coalport China is a make of English porcelain which takes its name from the Shropshire village of Coalport. The firm moved to the Potteries district of Staffordshire in the 20th century. Production is now in Barlaston, the home of the Wedgwood group.

The original buildings are now the location of the Coalport China Museum, including the national collection of Coalport china.
