  • At the age of 14 George Jones started a seven year apprenticeship with Minton. After completion in 1844 he worked as a travelling salesman for Wedgewood. 

  • By 1850 George had established himself as a successful pottery merchant and by 1856 he had opened a pottery showroom in Glebe Street, Stoke.

  • George started manufacturing around 1861 at the Bridge Works, Stoke, as George Jones & Co.

  • In 1864 he purchased land from Colin Minton Campbell and in 1865 the company moved to the newly built factory - the Trent Potteries. Production of majolica ware started in 1865. 

  • From 1872 china production was started.

  • By 1873 the two eldest sons, Frank Ralph Jones and George Henry Jones became partners in the business which was renamed George Jones & Sons.  'Crescent' was registered as a trademark for the new company.

  • At this time the business had 590 employees. 

  • In 1894 the business was incorporated as George Jones and Sons Ltd. 

  • George Jones died in 1893 - the business continued under the name 'George Jones & Sons' 

  • Around 1907 the works were renamed 'Crescent Potteries' 

  • From the 1920s Cauldon Potteries Ltd. and Coalport China Co. Ltd. had moved their manufacturing to the Crescent Potteries and were sharing the works with George Jones & Sons Ltd. 

  • In 1929 the Jones family ownership ended when Walter Bakewell (who was the managing director) bought the business.

  • In 1933 Harrison & Son (Hanley) Ltd bought out Bakewell's controlling shareholding. 

  • c.1947 there was some modernisation of the Cresent Works. Manufacture of Coalport and Cauldon was favoured.
