Cauldon China was an English porcelain manufacturer with roots in the historic pottery industry of Stoke-on-Trent. The companys history is closely associated with Brown-Westhead, Moore & Co., which produced fine porcelain and decorative tableware during the 19th century. Around the turn of the century, the Cauldon name became particularly recognised for elegant tea and coffee services featuring detailed floral decorations, gilding and classical forms. Cauldon porcelain from this period is now appreciated by collectors of antique English fine china.
