The vintage Aynsley English Bone China Salad Plates are part of the Ainsley legacy. Aynsley was founded in 1775 by John Aynsley in Lane End, Longton, Staffordshire. In 1861 his grandson John Aynsley built the historic Portland Works on Sutherland Road, Longton, Staffordshire.The company's profitability made it a desirable acquisition. In June 1970 Spode put in a bid, this was then topped in July by Denbyware. Discussions then followed with Waterford Glass and a £1 million bid was agreed. In 1970 John Aynsley and Sons was taken over by Waterford and renamed Aynsley China Ltd. In 1987 Waterford sold the company in order to focus the group's fine china sales on the worldwide Wedgwood brand.
The company is a favored supplier of the British royal family, with both Queen Elizabeth II and Diana, Princess of Wales, chosing Aynsley china as wedding presents from the British china industry. Aynsley's market has historically been within the United Kingdom.
