Lovatt & Lovatt were established at Langley Mill, Nottinghamshire, in 1895, and came out of a company known as Calvert & Lovatt.

They changed their name in 1931 to Lovatt's Potteries, and were bought in 1959 by J Bourne & Son (Denby).

Well known for their slip decorated earthenware, they marketed pots under the names 'Langley Ware' and 'Lovique Ware'.
