Founded by a Mr. Wallace and Joseph Chetwynd, the Wallace & Chetwynd Co. (1881-1901) operated in the former Harker "Wedgewood" pottery. The facility was renamed "Colonial." Mr. Chetwynd was a Staffordshire potter who had been employed as a manager and modeler in the Cockson & Chetwynd Pottery. The Colonial Pottery was noted for the excellence of their ironstone.

Until the late-19th century, most dinnerware in the U.S. was imported. However, in the 1870s and 1880s, several American potters began to make white "granite ware." Several potteries were situated in New Jersey, including City Pottery in Trenton, and other potteries were also established near East Liverpool, Ohio, including Knowles, Taylor & Knowles and Homer Laughlin & Co. Most of the ironstone produced in the U.S. had simpler shapes than the English imports which were still preferred by Americans. In an attempt to sell more of their wares, most American potteries did not originally mark their wares, and some used variations the British Royal Arms or marks that resembled the arms. As well as the British Royal Arms of some American potters also included such phrases as 'Royal China,' 'Royal Blue,' 'Royal Semi-Granite,' and 'Imperial China,' in order to give the appearance of English-manufactured ware.
