John Ridgway & Co. was a porcelain and earthenware manufacturer at Cauldon Place in Shelton, Staffordshire, England. After 1813, when their father Job Ridgway died, John and William Ridgway were partners at Cauldon Place. In 1830 the two brothers inherited the Bell Works from their uncle George. The brothers then ended their partnership, with John taking the Cauldon Works and William retaining the Bell works. The new partners at the Cauldon Works included John Ridgway, Thomas Sanders Bale, John Ridgway Bale, and Robert Brown. In 1846 the partnership was dissolved, John Ridgway Bale having died and Robert Brown leaving the business. The business then continued with John Ridgway and Thomas Sanders Bale as partners. John Ridgway and Thomas Sanders Bale were also partners at the Castlefields, Architectural Pottery Works in Shelton under the name of Ridgway & Bale. Both partnerships were dissolved in August 1854.
