Information about the artist and/or manufacturer:
John Beswick was a ceramics manufacturer who founded the Beswick company in 1892, together with James Wright Beswick and his sons, John and Gilbert Longton, in Stoke-on-Trent. In 1969, the company was sold to Doulton & Co. and closed in 2002, with the John Beswick brand being sold in 2004. Beswick's artistic ceramics were mainly known for the production of high-quality porcelain figurines such as farm animals and Beatrix Potter characters and, over the years, became highly sought after in the international collectors' market.
