HISTORY: Pristine Pottery Company Pristine Works, Hurst St Longton Stoke-On-Trent Staffordshire Pristine was a unique English pottery. They made almost exclusively teaware: teapots, creamer and sugar sets, milk jugs, tea tidies, and teacups. What made them unique was the near perfect classic shape, the range of sizes (five sizes from 12 to 60 ounces), and more than 20 incredible colors. So what happened? China got ‘em. The English started buying cheap Chinese teapots and at the same time regulated the English potteries into the poorhouse. With rising costs and falling sales, consolidations started. Arthur Wood, one of the larger potteries, bought several smaller potteries including Pristine. However, they were not to be saved either. Within a year Arthur Wood filed bankruptcy and everything closed.
