These dishes were made at the Rockingham factory at Swinton in Yorkshire when the Brameld family ran the factory.

The Bramelds had interests in a number of Yorkshire potteries including Swinton, Don and Mexborough. Through the Swinton Pottery they had a close connection with Leeds Pottery, the two concerns having temporarily merged from about 1785-1806. Having disentangled themselves from all other concerns from 1806 they operated the Swinton Pottery until its closure in 1842. They received unstinting support from their landlord, Earl Fitzwilliam, and about 1826 the factory was renamed The Rockingham Works in honour of Earl’s uncle, the Marquis of Rockingham. The factory created an amazing range of earthenware and stoneware, with every kind of popular decoration including transfer-printed designs.
