branksome beginnings
Branksome China was founded in 1945 by Ernest Baggaley, a gifted potter who learnt his craft in
Stoke-on-Trent, the heart of the English ceramics industry. Ernest was a visionary; formerly head of works at Poole Pottery, he developed a special recipe to create a unique porcelain; fine and light, yet strong and durable, designed for everyday use. The recipe remains unchanged to this day.

Branksome today
The founding qualities of Branksome, embodied in classic, good design continue to be the inspiration for our development and explain the timeless appeal of our wares, some of which have been in continuous production for over 40 years.
