Maling pottery

Posted by Geoff Plucknett on 14/2/2025, 7:19 pm

I recently came across the name Maling as a pottery in Newcastle. Does anyone know where the site was?

It was manufactured in Sunderland for quite a number of years, the factory closed down in the early 60’s, you will probably find out more info if you Google it. If you are interested in buying Maling pottery I would suggest you visit local antique fairs or shops selling vintage stuff, I think there is still quite a few pieces around. Good luck.

Geoff, mailing can be expensive to collect but don't buy the pottery with blue decoration which came out after the late 50s. It is not valuable. Ringtons used to give mailing pottery away with packets of tea. My dad smashed up my grandmother's after she died and said it was rubbish! He smashed a fortune to pieces! Happy collecting. There is a book about mailing. They also had a factory in Newcastle near Ouseburn.

Thanks for the various replies. I wasn't thinking of collecting any it is just that I spotted the Maling "castle" logo on the wall of a certain carvery recently, along with other British pottery names and logos. I'd never heard of them before but of course as usual the combined knowledge bank on this group comes up with the answers!
