Kiln Craft Bacchus

During the 1950s Staffordshire Potteries was the largest producer of utilitarian pottery. It also produced popular blue banded kitchen ware and dinner and tea wares.

By the 1960s and 1970s the company had shifted to the production of mugs, kitchen and dinner wares.

The Kilncraft brand was introduced in 1972 with Bacchus and a new range of modern shapes, colours and surface decoration appeared. The brand captured the essence of the decade and was so successful that they produced other ranges, eventually superceding the name and trade mark of Staffordshire Potteries.

Their decline came once the company was bought by Coloroll, which later went into receivership.
