Royal Stafford is a brand name of an English company from Staffordshire called Thomas Poole. Thomas Poole pottery was founded in 1880 and was formerly known as Johnson & Poole. The 1845 date on the pottery mark is likely to come from the inception of the earlier company. In 1952 the company was reformed to become known as "Royal Stafford China" an amalgamation of the two firms of Thomas Poole and Gladstone China Ltd.
