The Tuscan Works of Longton was in the Plant family until 1966 when RH & SL Plant ltd was taken over by Wedgwood. Following their acquisition by Wedgwood, Tuscan fine bone china was marketed as Royal Tuscan. Production continued at the Tuscan works until 2006, though the Royal Tuscan name was slowly phased out and the works concentrated on Wedgwood Hotelware.
