Shafford Japan

What is the history of shafford hand painted bone china?

I purchased some absolutely stunning cups and saucers at an auction marked " shafford...hand painted "" japan
I know they are Very Old but can't find any history on the company that made shafford.
I would like to date the items and learn a bit about the company.

There are so very many citations listing products from this company but I've yet to see a history. Perhaps you can find it within one of the many listings' descriptions or through a trade journal archive. I hope this helps!
