The Steelite brand name still exists – it was acquired according to Wikipedia in the 1960s by Royal Doulton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Doulton Royal Doulton were later acquired by WWRD Holdings Ltd who in 2015 became part of Fiskars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiskars

The original Ridgway name goes back to the early 1800s. Their Steelite brand products were very popular in the hospitality, shipping and airline industry because it was very light and very strong. Perhaps Fiskars can give you an answer from their records.

Mind you someone will probably recognise the logo and my search will be redundant – it’s just that among my interests I collect English 18th century porcelain so I leapt at the challenge. :eagerness:
