Shelley

Possibly the finest of the English bone china, Shelley has a reputation for producing incredibly beautiful, thin and very strong bone china. So thin in fact, this truly is the only bone china which is comparable to Irish Beleek. The process and formula of the clay has remained until today, to be unique to Shelley.

There are more 15,000 patterns now attributed to this company. Quite possibly, some of the finest art china ever to come out of England, was produced by Shelley.

There have been several trade name changes since the inception of this firm - first known as Wileman & Co. or J.F. Wileman, and then as The Foley China Co. It wasn't until 1910 that the trade name changed to the now familiar, Shelley.
