Foley

A Mr. Robinson founded the The Foley China Works in 1850. Elijah Brain took over the works in 1885 and the Brain family continued to run the business until it closed. The E&B in their stamped hallmark on the underside of their bone china dishware is a testament to Elijah Brain. The family purchased Coalport in 1959 and continued producing china dinnerware under the Coalport and Foley names. The use of the name of Foley ceased in 1963 when the company put all the china produced under the Coalport name.

Despite their closure, Foley has maintained its reputation for having crafted elegant china. Their bone china dinnerware continues to grace dining tables in homes around the world.
