By 1873, two eldest son Jones, Frank Ralph and George Henry Jones, met business and joined his father in a partnership.The company was renamed George Jones & amp;Sons, and the name "Cresscent" was registered as a trademark of a new company.At that time, 590 qualified workers worked in the company.After the death of George Jones in 1893, the family company continued to succeed until the beginning of the twentieth century.The company was sold to the managing director Walter Bakevell in 1929, and by 1951 the GEORGE Jones & amp trademark;Sons was no longer used.The crescent was demolished in 1959 after almost a centuries of production of ceramics.

Although he brought his sons to the pottery in 1866, only in 1878 he also added them to the name of the company.From that moment on, the words “and sons” appeared on the major, usually concluded in the form of a crescent.This quickly led to the nickname "crescent" ceramics for George Jones, the name that the company ultimately accepted.
