*These histories are adapted from those in my new book ‘Handbook of British Pottery Manufacturers 1900-2010’.
The book contains details of the history, owners, products and trade names of approximately 800 pottery businesses - the most comprehensive reference available.
Geoffrey Godden’s now classic Encyclopedia* is widely used for dating UK pottery and porcelain from the trade names and trade marks on the ceramics. Now learn the history of the potters and potteries behind those marks in my new book
