Winkle and Wood started producing English earthenware in 1885 at the Pearl pottery works in Hanley. Through a series of owners, including Ridgeways, the brand was produced between 1885 and 2000 when the last of the pottery factory was demolished. Whieldon ware was a brand produced for the English and export markets in the late 19th and early 20th Century in what was known as 'colonial pottery'.
 
The hyacinths will begin flowering in a couple of weeks and will flower for weeks, scenting your whole home. They can be planted out again into the garden to flower again next season.
