Coalport, Shropshire, England was a centre of porcelain and pottery production between about 1795 - 1926, with the Coalport porcelain brand continuing to be used up to the present. The opening in 1792 of the Coalport Canal, which joins the River Severn at Coalport, had increased the attractiveness of the site, and from 1800 until a merger in 1814 there were two factories operating, one on each side of the canal, making rather similar wares which are now often difficult to tell apart. Both factories made mostly tablewares that had elaborated overglazed decoration, mostly with floral subjects. A further round of mergers in 1819 brought moulds from Nantgarw and Swansea Porcelain to Coalbrookdale, which continued to thrive through the rest of the century. The Coalport factory was founded by John Rose in 1795; he continued to run it successfully until his death in 1841.
