The Green family established the Minerva Works, Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent, England in 1883 and traded as T.A. & S. Green. In 1889 whilst still under the control of the Green brothers, the company was renamed as the Crown Staffordshire Porcelain Co and in 1903 it became the Crown Staffordshire Porcelain Co. Ltd.
In the late 1920's Crown Staffordshire pioneered the large scale production of china floral ornaments and china costume jewellery for which they became famous.
During WWII they were designated a “nucleus firm” and were allowed to operate at the Minerva Works where they produced bone china and canteen ware for the British and Canadian armed forces.
In 1948, whilst still owned and operated by the Green family, the name of the company was changed to Crown Staffordshire China Co. Ltd. and business presences were established in Canada and America. By the 1950s three quarters of total production was exported. The Green family owned the company until it was sold in 1965 to the US company Semart Importing Co
