About This Book

Traces the development of the North Staffordshire pottery industry from small household manufacture to factory-based production, examining the local resources and social conditions that concentrated the trade. The narrative surveys technical and stylistic innovations such as salt-glaze wares, cream-coloured earthenware, printed blue patterns, and the work of leading firms and innovators, and discusses organization changes including the rise of factories, steam power, labor unrest, and the growth of related industries like tile and porcelain production. Chapters combine documentary research, maps, illustrations, and biographical sketches to map changing methods, markets, and artistic developments.
