The Hammersley firm, which specialized in the production of richly decorated bone china of fine quality and good design until it was absorbed into the Spode and then Royal Worcester groups, was established about a century ago as a family concern headed by two cousins, Titus Hammersley and Edward Asbury. The firm was initially named Hammersley and Asbury, and continued as such until Titus died in 1875. The former had also a partnership in the firm of Harvey Adams and Co., china manufacturers of Longton, but on his death his eldest son, George, took over the direction of the business, and acquired the Harvey Adams concern, changing the name and combining both under the title they use today.<p>From thence onward the history of the firm is of one Hammersley succeeding another until recently, when the firm was taken over and the Hammersley line eventually discontinued. <p>This tea set, in the perennially popular and now discontinued Victorian Violets pattern, consists of a large tea pot, large covered sugar bowl, and large open cream jug. The tea pot measures 11 inches long, and stands just over 6 inches high. It holds in excess of 6 cups of tea. The sugar bowl is 5.5 inches long, and the cream jug is 5.25 inches long. All pieces are in excellent undamaged condition. A great gift for the violets lover on your list.
