About this book
The contents of Staffordshire Pottery and Its History list chapters on the creation of the potteries, the beginning of the factory, steam power and strikes, and modern men and methods. The account credits Wedgwood’s financial success with Jasper and Black Etruscan ware with leading every potter of any capacity to attempt the same lines of production. The account identifies Elijah Mayer as an enameller who attained success by perfecting cream-coloured ware.
A quoted petition describes near 500 separate potteries in Burslem and its neighbourhood, making various kinds of stone and earthenware and supporting near 7000 people. The petition says that the ware from those potteries was exported in vast quantities from London, Bristol, Liverpool, and Hull.
