About Beswick
The John Beswick Pottery was established in 1894 at Loughton, Stoke-on-Trent. Initially producing tableware and ornaments, and only later in the 1930s turning to animal modelling notably for famous racehorses and champion dogs. The studio became renowned as the finest for animal figures. The studio also produced a range of whimsical figures of animals in with human expressions and in human poses.
In 1948 the company began producing characters from the Beatrix Potter story books. Then in 1952 Beswick began its Disney range with Mickey Mouse, and later in 1968 produced a series of Winnie the Pooh figures. These figures are extremely sort after today. The Royal Doulton Group bought Beswick in 1969. By the end of 2002 Royal Doulton ceased the manufacture of all Beswick products an end of an era for Staffordshire and the pottery industry.
