S. Hancock & Sons was a ceramics manufacturer in Stoke-on-Trent, England. The company was founded in 1857 by Sampson Hancock, a prominent Wesleyan. Hancock began his career as a potter's apprentice, and eventually went on to establish his own business. The company's early products were mainly earthenware, but Hancock soon began to experiment with other materials, such as porcelain and bone china. In 1891, the company was renamed S. Hancock & Sons, and Hancock's three sons, Jabez, Harry, and Arthur, joined the business.

The company's products were known for their high quality and attractive designs. In 1912, S. Hancock & Sons introduced a new line of china called Corona Ware. The term "Corona" referred to the radiating patterns that were often used in the decoration of the ware. Corona Ware was made from a fine-grained porcelain, and was decorated with delicate floral patterns. more...
