DIMENSIONS:  The cups have a diameter of 3 1/4" and a height of 2 15/16" to the top of the handle.  The saucers have a diameter of 5 11/16" with a height of 3/4".  The creamer handle to spout is 4 3/4" with a maximum diameter of 3 3/8" and a height of 3 5/8".  The open sugar has a diameter of 4 5/8" and a height of 2 1/2". HISTORY/MARKS:  The lengthy history of Ridgway Potteries dates all the way back to 1873 and includes many name and owner changes.  In 1953, the Lawley Group acquired managerial control of Booths and Colcloughs Ltd.  (Both groups were already owned by S. Pearson & Son Ltd. which was the operating company of Lord Cowdray’s industrial empire.)  The simpler name, Ridgway Potteries, Ltd., was adopted from Feb. 28. 1955.  They produced high quality porcelain under the name Melba China from 1955-1964.  The mark is identified as mark #3288 by Geoffrey A. Godden’s Encyclopaedia of British and Porcelain Marks.  This branch of the pottery operated at Bedford Works in Shelton, Staffordshire, England.
