Ridgway is a well-known name in English pottery and ceramics, with a history dating back to the 18th century. Ridgway produced various patterns and styles over the years, including those influenced by Chinese motifs.
 
Ridgway pottery has a long history and was produced by several generations of the Ridgway family. The company was known for producing a wide range of ceramics, including earthenware and porcelain. Many pottery and porcelain manufacturers, including Ridgway, were influenced by Chinese aesthetics. Chinese-inspired designs often featured motifs such as landscapes, pagodas, figures, and traditional patterns.
 
The condition of the bowl is a factor in determining its value and collectibility. Pieces in excellent condition - like this one, without chips or cracks, are generally more desirable.
