Excerpt from The Pottery Gazette - January 1908

The firm adopted the name "Cauldon China" for their porcelain productions - a name which has become famous. But they make practically every other description of pottery: china tea, breakfast, and dessert services, earthenware dinner and toilet services, ornamental goods in china and parian, plain and ornamental sanitary ware. The manufacture of all these is continued, and now, as always, the productions of Cauldon Works, from the plain printed earthenware dinner plate to the most ornate china vase, are noted for the superiority and soundness of body, the clear glaze, and the superb finish. 

In 1877 they produced a magnificent china dessert service for the Prince of Wales (now King Edward VII.), each piece decorated with a unique and finely painted hunting scene. They also supplied dinner, dessert, tea, and breakfast services for the Czar of Russia. It is interesting to notice that the orders for the Czar were secured in competition with Sevres, Dresden, and other famous manufactories. They have exhibited at most, if not all, of the great international exhibitions, and have taken the highest honours obtainable.
