Portmeirion

In 1960 Susan and Euan purchased A. E. Gray Ltd., a small pottery decorating company based in Stoke-on-Trent. This was followed by the purchase of a second pottery company, Kirkhams Ltd... These two businesses were combined and Portmeirion potteries was born. Susan always expected her pottery designs to fit comfortably with everyday life... she was heavily involved in the manufacture of all her pieces. Portmeirion potteries continues to manufacture Susan's designs as well as others in the same factory in Stoke-on-Trent to this very day.
