Branksome China is unique, high fired, English porcelain. The company was established in 1945 in Bournemouth, England by Ernest Baggaley and continues to be hand made by his family and a small, dedicated team of employees in an old cinema building in Fordingbridge. We hope, on this site, to give some insight into how this beautifully delicate, yet durable ware is made. What gives it the strength to be used everyday, in ovens, microwaves and dishwashers and still look different and special in your home.

	There are so many types of china on the market today, much of it mass produced by machines, or easily breakable or both. Discover how our traditional methods of production, along with our durable body can give you the chance to enjoy your own, unique china.
	Discover Ernest’s dream. How he moved from Stoke to become works manager at Poole Pottery. How he experimented in a yard with a home made kiln to make his dream a reality, leading to a company with 70 employees, worldwide distribution, and more than 1000 trade accounts in the UK alone. Plus the turn of events that led to the New Forest factory where Branksome China is made today. Branksome China Timeline
