A BOOK OF POTTERY MARKS-

By W» PERCIVAL JERVTS*

IN COMPILING this list of Pottery Marks I have endeavored to adapt my-
self more particularly to the requirements of American readers rather
than attempt the collation of a great number of marks, many of which exist
only on single specimens, carefully stored away in some public or private
collection, inaccessible to any but a favored few. In the case of Delft marks,
for instance, it appears to me useless to encumber my pages with marks from
the historical records of the Hotel de Ville, some of which have never been
seen except in the records of registration ; so I have presented only a few
specimens of the best-known makers, reserving my space, as far as possible,
for the marks of to-day, though the past has so many honorable traditions
that it was impossible to altogether ignore it.

I was fortunate with regard to Japan — my friend, Mr. H. K. Tetsuka,
himself the son of a well-known Japanese potter, having kindly drawn a
collection of representative Japanese marks of to-day, and supplemented
them with brief explanatory notes.

Very many of the marks here given have never before been published.
Some of the old ones are copied from examples of collectors who have placed
their collections at my disposal ; others have been freely drawn from existing
works on the subject; and I believe all prominent makers are represented
with a sufficient degree of fullness.

Great care and no small amount of trouble has been taken with the
American section ; and if my design to make this the feature of the work has
not been accomplished I could easily vindicate myself. But I was the recipi-
ent of many courtesies at the hands of American manufacturers, for which I
am not ungrateful ; and I trust they will find their reward in the public
recognition of their honesty of purpose to elevate their art and to make
American pottery representative of American skill and all that is noblest in
American art.

merly been produced by W. H. Gobs in
limited quantities.

Isaac Baquley, Sotherham. — A
punter first at the Derby China Works,

crest as a trademark.

J. & M. P. Bell & Co., Glasgow.—
Earthenware. Established in 1843.

Bellevub Pottery, Hull, 1802-41. —
JobRidgway, of Shelton, and two gentle-
men named Smith founded an earthen-
ware manufactory here, but the partner-
ship only lasted until 1804. In 1806 the
works again came into the possession of
Job Ridgway and his brother George, who
continued them until 1816, when they
were succeeded by BelL Cream color,
green glaze and bine printed earthenware
were the staple productions.

8. Barker & Son, The Don Pottery,
Bwinten.— Eatahliahed 1790. Vp to 1834 was in
the hande of Green, of Leeds, \vhen it was
bought by Samuel Barker, and in 1851 became
Samuel Barker & Son. A general line of earth-
enware and pierced ware, almost identical in
shape and design with that of Leeda, was made.
Prom 1810-1812 a small quantity of china was
made. The first two are the earliest marks;
the next was adopted in 1S51 ; the lost lathe
present mark. "Don Pottery" was also used,
both as an impressed and penciled mark.

Bristol. — The first mark is the earliest
dated example of Bristol Delft. The third
occurs on a high-heeled shoe, and the others on
various Delft pieces. The two Bristol makers
of this ware were Richard Frank and Joseph
Flower. Joseph Ring, who succeeded Richard
Frank in 1786, engaged Anthony Hassel, a
Shelton potter, bought his moulds, etc., and
removed them to Bristol so as to make queens-
ware, and the manufacture of Delft at Bristol
came to an end.

Bbameld & Co., Rockingham Works,
Rotherham. — This factory flourished late in
the last century and was chiefly remarkable
for the flne brown glaze invented there,
and which they called Rockingham, after
the name of the patron of the works.
In 1825 the manufacture of china was added,
but it was not a commercial success, and
the works were closed in 1842. The name
" Mortlock '' appears on some pieces. This
is the father of the present Mortlock, of
Oxford street, London. The early Rocking-
ham has the color delicately varied, often
deepening towards the lower part of the
piece. The color is in the glaze itself, and
is due to manganese containing a little iron.

The White
House service
during Jeffer-
son's adminis-
t ration was
made here.

Bates, Elliott & Co. — Joseph Stubbs,
founded the Dalehall Works in 1790, and
owned them up to 1829. He was succeeded by
Thomas, John and Joshua Mayer, who after-
wards traded as Mayer Bros. & Elliott. The
successive firms were Liddle, Elliott & Co.,
Bates, Elliott & Co., Bates, Walker & Co.,
Bates, Gildea & Walker, and Gildea &
Walker. Keeling & Co. are the present
proprietors. Early impressed marks are:

JAMES CLEWS
WHMAMTED STAFfOWkSHiFE .

CoBBiDGB WoBKS. — Chaffers states that
these works were started by Stevenson & Dale
in 1780, and that in 1815 it was A. Stevenson
alone. Jewett gives the date of the erection of
the works as 1808 , by Bucknall & Stevenson,
who were succeeded by A. Stevenson, who
occupied them until 1820, when they passed
into the hands of James Clews.

The first is an impressed mark. The se«ond
is by Chaffers ascribed to A. Stevenson, but I
am inclined to think in error. There were
several Stevensons in the Potteries manufactur-
ing a similar grade of goods. The third and
fourth are also impressed marks.

Clews gave up the Cobridge Works in 1829,
and in 1836 came to this country and estab-
lished a works at Troy, Ind. In the American
section this epoch in his life will be more fully
treated. In 1836 the Cobridge Works were
re-opened by Robinson, Wood and Brownfield ;
in 1850 they were succeeded by W. Brownfield,
who afterwards traded as W. Brownfield &
Son. A few years ago the works were turned
into a co-operative society, aud are now known
as the Brownfield Guild Pottery.

Barker & Son, Burslem. — Earthenware.
From 1851 to 1860.

Brownfield & Son.— See Cobridge Works.

E. BoTJBME and J. E. Leiqh, Burs-

Booths, Church Bank Works, Tun-

the hands of T. Booth & Son in 1870.
The firm commenced bUHness in 1864
at the Rnowles Works, Burslem, under
the style of Evans & Booth, whlcli in
1S68 was altered to Thos. Booth & Co.
In 1S72 it was changed to T. G. & F.
Booth, and Is now conducted by Mr.
T. O. Booth only under the style of

Bbown-Westhead, Moore & Co.,
Stoke. — Manu&ctnrers of the well-
known " Cauldon " china. The works
were founded by Job Ridgway in 1794,
and continued by his sons, John and
William. This partnership was dis-
solved, and John continued the busi-
ness alone until his death in 1860,
when Mr. Brown -Westhead obtained
the controlling interest, and in con-
junction with W. Moore carried on a
most successful business. Mr. Moore
died in 1863 and his brother James
was made a partner in 1875. He die<!
in 1881 and the present proprietors arc
hia nephews, Messrs. T. F. and W. B.
Moore, Mr. Brown- Westhead having
died in 1882. The productions of the
firm are of great diversity, and evince
artistic conception and great care In
every minuti^ of workmanship.

Bow China Works, London.— Founded
prior to 1744. There is a good deal of doubt
about Bow marks, but those given are gen-
erally accepted as such. The last two of
the series are the marks of a celebrated
decorator there named Thomas Fry, and one
of the original patentees. Bones were for
the first lime used here as a compouent part
of the body. Clay from the Cherokee Terri-
tory, North America, was also employed.
Cookworthy's discovery of china clay in
England dates ten years later (1754). The
Bow china was a hard and rather coarse
body. The factory was known as the New
Canton Works, and was in existence until
1775. It was then purchased by W. Dues-
bury, of Derby, and the moulds, etc. were
removed there.

BuBOESS & Leioh, Middleport Pottery,
Burslem . — Earthenware.

Stonier, Hauley. —
Originally Llvesley, Powell & Co.,
who were succeeded in 1865 by
Powell & Bishop. Later Mr. Sto-
nier, of Liverpool, was admitted
as a partner, and the firm became
Bishop & Stonier. They operate
three worfcs at Hanley — the Staf-
ford Street Works, formerly Reu-
ben Johnson & Co.; the Church
Street Works, formerly W. Eidg-
way, and the Waterloo Works,

Clembntbon Bbob., Hanley.— In 1832 the present hua-
iuess was started by Keed & Clementson, Jos. Clementaon
shortly afterwards becoming sole proprietor. In 1856 he
purchased the Bell Works, formerly operated by Wm.
Ridgway. He retired in 1867 and died in 1871. His four
sons continue the business.

AiJ:-!'

Chelsea.— A. D., 1745-69. "Chelsea,
1745" is the earliest do/ed piece of English
china. The Anchor is the true Chelsea
mark. It is sometimes painted and some-
times embossed.

O^^s-

Cadghlby, Coalport. — The Caughley Works were established about 1750,
and were purchased by Rose in 1799, and transferred to Coalport in 1814,
The first nine marks were used both by Caughley and Coalport, and the
crescent was also used by Worcester. The next five are Caughley marks,
the last two being impressed. C. D, is an abbreviation of Coalbrookdale. C.
8. N. stands for Coalport, Swansea and Nantgarw, the two latter works hav-
ing been absorbed by Coalport. This mark was used after 1820. In 1820 a
mark waa adopted of a laurel-wreath with "Coalport Impressed Feld Spar
Porcelain." Encircling the wreath are the words "Patronized by the
Society of Arts. The gold medal awarded May 30, 1820." Beneath and
outside the circle is the name, J. Bose & Co. Coalport china was rarely
marked until about 1876, when the present mark (the last of the series) was
adopted.

W. CooKWOETHY, Plymouth. — The discoverer of
china clay in Cornwall. From 1768 to 1770. He was
granted a patent for the manu&cture of china, which
after a year or two he transferred to Richard Champ-
ion, of Bristol. The distinctive mark of Plymouth
china is the alchemist's sign for tin (Jupiter). This is
often used in conjunction with numerals— probably
workmen's marks. It was in blue underglaze and
brown on the glaze. The same mark was used by
Champion, generally in gold, who continued the man-
ufacture at Bristol. The Staffordshire posters, con-
spicuous among them being Josiah Wedgwood, tried
hard to have the patent rights cancelled, but in this
they were unsuccessful. ' His productions were
much in advance of those of Cookworthy, but
the costs of litigation and losses in manufacturing
compelled him so dispose of his patent to a syndi-
cate of Stafifordshire manufacturers, who com-
menced operations at Tunstall, but later removed
to the New Hall Works, Hanley (which see).
Champion shortly afterwards came to this coun-
try, where he died. The first six marks are Ply-
mouth, the remainder are Bristol.

Undoubtedly a Staffordshire mark, out i can
find no record of the firm. Barker & Son (which
see) had the Hull Works, Burslem, from 1851 to
1860. There is also a Chas. G. Barker at the
Sylvester Pottery, Burslem.

W. T. CoPELAND & Sons, Stoke-upon-Trent. —
Founded in 1770 by Josiah Spode, one of the
many successful potters educated by Whieldon.
He was later joined by Wm. Copeland, and suc-
cess quickly followed their united efforts — Spode
busy at the factory experimenting with a view to
produce improvements, and with a watchful eye
that the standard attained did not depreciate, and
Copeland in disposing of the product of the factory.
In 1800, under the second Josiah Spode, who
proved as good a potter as his father, the manu-
facture of china was commenced. This was quickly
followed (1805) by an opaque porcelain known as
ironstone china, which won an instant success.
There were three generations of Spodes, all named

ujSt^OOftOI

2. 5POI5E S

Josiah, and these, with three generations of Cope-
lands, have always constituted the firm, with the
exception of Thos. Garrett, who was a member of
the firm from 1833 to 1847. The Spodes died in
1797, 1827, and 1829 respectively. Wm. Cope-
land died in 1826, his son, W. T. Copeland, suc-
ceeding him. From 1847 to 1867 he conducted
the business alone, and then admitted his four
sons, who now carry on the business, into partner-
ship. The productions of this house have been
very varied, sometimes strikingly original — the
first use of transfer printing at Stoke, tiles with
granulated surface, giving a particularly soft effect
to the subjects painted on them, and the introduc-
tion of Parian, being among the number. The
marks are given in chronological order, the last
one being the mark on jasper.

Derby and the anchor for Chelsea
were then combined in the trade-
mark. About 1781 bisque figures
were first made. Bobert Bloor
leased the premises in 1815 from
the then proprietor — the third Wm.
Duesbury. Jealous of the reputa-
tion their products had acquired,
the Duesburys had never allowed
an imperfect piece either to be deco-
rated or leave the foctory. The

accumulatioa of such pieces was
thrown upon the market by Bloor
and met with ready sale, and the
temptation to produce large quan-
tities of goods was too great to be
resisted, so but little care was
taken in selection, and the decline
of the works commenced. Bloor
was succeeded in 1846 by Thomas
Clark, who discontinued the works
and sold the molds, etc., to Stafford-
shire potters. Some of the old
workmen comme4ced business on
their own account under the style
of Locker & Co., changed in 1859
to Stevenson & Co. , and finally to
Hancock & Co. The Derby periods
are: Chelsea Derby, 1769-84, dis-
tinguished by the first four marks ;
Crown Derby, 1773-82—1782-1831
— the next six marks, with the
crossed swords added to the Crown

the Tees thirty years ago, many of them founded the latter part of the
18th century. The ware was inferior to that of Leeds, but some well
modeled statuettes were produced, often spoiled by poor coloring and crude
attempts at marbling the bases. A coarse kind of purple gold lustre was
often smeared over printed patterns.

upon his return home considerably enlarged the
works, which now give employment to over six
hundred employees. His efforts have always been
directed to the improvement of useful rather than
ornamental goods, and being able to concentrate
his energies on this, he has been happily success-
ful ; a success which has had its reward in a yearly
increasing volume of business, which is after all
the best expression of appreciation a manufacturer
can obtain. The ohromo-lithographic process is
now happily employed, the effect being heightened
by the vitreous nature of the body, and some
charming results are obtained. Mr. Maddock has
been the recipient of all the honors his fellow
townsmen could bestow upon him, having been
elected as Mayor of the ancient borough of Burs-
lem, in addition to other local appointments. His
nephew, John Francis, has been admitted as a
junior partner by his uncle, and much of the pre-
sent management of the firm devolves upon him.
The two last are the present marks, the last one
being used on hotel ware.

The first mark is from a printed pattern iss-
ued about 1837. The next four are early
painted marks, the first two being imitations
of the Sevres mark. The following two are
printed marks on china used before 1868.

The printed names **Minton'' and
" MiNTON «fc Co." are impressed marks, and
were not used before 1861. The globe was
adopted as a trade-mark in 1868. Chaffers
gives this mark as that of HoUins, Minton
& Co., but there never was such a firm.
Minton, Hollins & Co., who own the right
to mark their tiles "Minton & Co." make
tiles only. The globe with flags was printed
in gold on all goods exhibited at the Phila-
delphia Exhibition. The last mark but one
is used only on ungilt china ; the last one is
the present trademark.

debted for much valuable information respecting
Staffordshire pottery, as he was a systematic and
indefatigable collector. Many of the beautifully

JosiAH Wedgwood & Sons, Etruria, — On

l^/FnO^^f QQP old specimens the main mark is the nanie

impressed in the clay, varying from 1-4 to

1-82 of an inch in height. Sometimes the

initial letter only was a capital. During

Wedgwood's partnership with Bentley the

names were conjoined,

WEDGWOOD
& BENTLEY,

and also as shown in the second and last two
marks. Bentley' s partnership only extended
to ornamental pieces. The mark

JOSIAH WEDGWOOD,
with a date underneath, belongs to the time
when the works were carried on by the son
of the founder. In the older stamps the O
was always wide ; in the later ones it is al-
ways narrow. The Portland vase mark is
the present mark on china only.

The following data will be of interest :
Josiah Wedgwood was born July, 1730.
School attendance ceased with his father's death in 1739. Bound apprentice
to his elder brother, Thomas Wedgwood, 1744. Entered into partnership
with Harrison about 1752. With Whieldon about 1754. Established in busi-
ness for himself 1759. Took Thomas Bentley into partnership 1766. Married
to Sarah Wedgwood January 29, 1764. Removed to Etruria 1771. Jasper
dip invented 1777. Bentley died 1780. Portland vase copied 1790. Took
his sons, John, Josiah and Thomas, and his nephew, Thomas Byerley, into
partnership 1790. Died 1795.

The life of Wedgwood has been written so fully and sympathetically,
with such an appreciation of his influence, not only on English ceramics, but
on those of the entire world, that this bare epitome of dates must suflfice here.
Wedgwood the man finds his happiest biographer in Samuel Smiles. Wedg-
wood the potter is equally well portrayed by Llewellyn Jewett and Miss
Meteyard.

1. — Liege, F. The first manufactory was established here by Baron de
Bulow in 1752, but was not successful, and his privilege was revoked in 1767.
Lefebure and Gavron h^d no better success. J. Boussemaert, of Lille, in
1772 started in a small way and in a few years was able to purchase a large
works which he converted into a pottery. The decorations were principally
copies of Rouen and Strasburg.

2-4. — TouRNAi, F. and H. P. Pierre Joseph Fanquez early in the
18th century established a works here. After his death in 1741 he was
succeeded by his son, who afterwards (1751) disposed of the. works to
Peterynck, of Lille. He continued to make faience, and added china, engag-
ing principally English workmen. The blue de roi produced equaled that of
Sevres. Many imitations of Sevres came from here.

5-6. — BocH Bros., La Louviere, F. They have successfully produced
good copies of Rhodian ware. The mark 6 is only used on reproductions and
imitations of Delft.

1-3 — Kiel, F, A manufacture of faience "was founded here by Jean
Buchwald about 1760. The principal artist was Abraham Leihamer. Pure
and elegant forms combined with admirably executed decorations, usually on
the glaze, gave the products of Kiel an excellent reputation. Specimens are
rare and highly valued, and generally marked as above.

4. — Copenhagen. Founded in 1772 by a chemist named MuUer and
afterwards purchased by King Christian YII. The works of the celebrated
Danish sculptor Thorwaldsen were spiritedly reproduced and at once gave
the factory prominence. But it is the work of to-day more than the tradi-
tions of the past that will form the standard in ages to come. These are too
well known to need exploiting here.

Fanquez, who was succeeded by his son and grandson. The latter in 1773
copied the style of Rouen and Strasbourg, but later originated a special
decoration consisting of delicate designs in white enamel on brown and blue
enamel grounds. A manufacture of soft paste china was commenced here
in 1815 by De Bettignies. Copies of the finest Sevres works are beautifully
reproduced.

5-9. Aprey, F. —Established about 1750 by Lallemand de Villehaut

(Baron d'Aprey). Distinguished for the elegance of its shapes, which were

mostly copies of goldsmiths' models. Also for the beautiful bird and flower

14. Brancas Lauraguais made hard porcelain in 1764. Mostly dec-
orated in blue. He went to England and obtained a patent, claiming that
he had found the materials there for making porcelain. This antedates
Cookworthy's patent by two years. It is a matter of dispute, but it seems
probable that the first discovery of kaolin in France was made by Count
Brancas Lauraguais in 1758 in the neighborhood of Alencon.

15. Bourg-la-Reine, H, P. — Founded about 1773. At a later period
faience was made.

16. Caen, H. P. — The manufactory here only existed from 1798 to
1810. The workmanship is excellent. A distinguishable feature is a peculiar
yellow ground, on which are painted bouquets of flowers, garlands and
lover's knots.

17. Choisy-le-roi, H. P. — A factory was established here in 1786 by
Clement.

18. Choisy-le-roi, F. — Messrs. H. Boulanger & Co. make a large

variety of popular priced goods.

19-20. Chantilly, S. P. — Founded in 1725 under the patronage of the
Prince de Conde. Imari and Corean decorations were freely copied. To
give increased whiteness the china was covered with a thin tin glaze
greatly enhancing the harmony and delicacy of the decorations.

authorities on account of its resemblance to the Sevres cypher.

26-27. — La Courtille, H. P. — Founded in 1711, and afterwards passed
into the hands of Pouyat, of Limoges. I have at some length traced the
history of this factory in ** Rough Notes on Pottery.'*

28. Dagoty, p. L.J H. P. — Was later styled and the ware marked
"Manufactur de S. M. I'lmperatice.*'

29. Etiolles. — Established in 1776 by Monnier as a soft paste factory.
Early work was in imitation of St. Cloud. At a later date hard porcelain
was made.

Faience d^OEiON. — Often called Henri Deux ware from the
fact that his emblem often formed a component part of the deco*
ration. It is now conclusively proved that it was made between
the years 1524 and 1537 at the Chateau d'Orion by Francois Cher-
pentier and Jehan Bernait, under the direction of the accomplished Helena
d'Hengest. Only about fifty pieces are said to be in existence, and their
beauty and rarity have made them — in the case of the choicest specimens —
worth their weight in gold. The shapes are elaborate, and consist of ewers,
tazzas, saltcellars, etc. The patterns seem to have been suggested by the
highly ornate book covers of the period, and were first incised or impressed
in a fine white clay, and these sunken portions were filled in with different
colored clays in dark brown, soft yellow and buff. The known specimens
may be divided into three periods : 1st. Under the personal artistic super-
vision of Helene d'Hengest. 2d. After her death, when under her son the
same workmen were employed; and the third period after the death of
Bernait and Cherpentier, when the manufacture fell into inexperienced hands
and gradually decayed.

30. Chas. Hannong; 31, Paul A. Hannong; 32, J. Hannong; 33, Ohas.
H. Hannong ; 34-36, Paul A. Hannong ; 37-38, Jos. A. Hannong. The Han-
nongs occupy an important place in the history of pottery of the eighteenth
century. Charles Hannong in 1709 was making pipes and large stoves in
Strasbourg. In 1721 a workman named Wackenfeld, who had escaped from
Meissen, became associated with him, and they commenced the manufacture
of porcelain under the direction of his son, Paul Antoine. They were emi-
nently successful — so much so that the Royal factory, jealous of their success,
obtained an order from the King prohibiting its manufacture. Paul Antoine
was obliged to leave the country. The manufacture of faience was continued
in Strasbourg by Paul A.'s sons, Pierre and Joseph. Paul Antoine went to
Frankenthal ; Pierre to Yincennes. It is claimed that his mark here was two
crossed pipes with or without the letter H, but M Garnier in his " Diction-
aire de la Ceramique,''' says he has never met with a specimen. This mark is
used by one or two German houses to-day.

89-42. Keller & Guerin, Luneville. — 39 is the mark of Cyflfle, a
famous sculptor (1746), whose statuettes of humble life, modeled with so much
skill and delicacy of touch, gave an added reputation to the factory.
Founded in 1729 by Chambrette, in 1778 it passed into the hands of Sebastien
Keller, whose direct descendants are now the proprietors. 40-42 arc modern
marks.

43-47. Lille, F. and H. P. — A manufactory was founded here in 1696
by Jacques Feburier (or Febvrier), a modeler from Tournai. After his death
in 1729 his widow, in conjunction with Francois Boussemaert, continued the
manufacture with great success, and obtained for it the title of the Royal
manufactory. Boussemaert died in 1778. Nos. 43-44 are his marks. He was
succeeded by Petit. Nos. 45-47 are marks on china. Another manufactory
was started in 1711 by Dorez and Pelissier; a third in 1740 by a Hollander
named Wamps ; and a fourth in 1758 by Hereng ; a fifth factory was estab-
lished in 1773 by an Englishman named Clarke.

48-63. Limoges. — The earliest factory at Limoges of which we have
any knowledge was that of Sieur IVJassier, for which, in 1737, he obtained a
decree empowering him to establish a faience manufactory. The mark No.
48 is from a dish made by him, now in the Limoges Museum. The discovery
of kaolin at St. Yrieix turned the attention of potters to the manufacture of
porcelain ; but as late as the close of the eighteenth century there appears to
have been two porcelain works at Limoges apparently producing white ware
only for the Paris decorators. Undoubtedly the introduction of American
brains and capital made of Limoges the pottery centre it has now become.

Nos. ^-50 are respectively the marks on white and decorated china made
by Tressemanes & Vogt. The factory was founded in 1852 by J. F. H. Vogt,
and in 1882 the style was changed to that of the present proprietors.

51. W. Guerin & Co., Limoges.

52-53. J. PouYAT, Limoges. — Pierre Pouyat established a faience manu-
factory at St. Yrieix, afterwards purchasing the La Courtille works at
Paris, where he made hard porcelain. His son, J. Pouyat, succeeded him,
and founded in 1842 a factory at Limoges which soon assumed considerable

importance. Pouyat china has always been celebrated for its fine texture^
and to keep pace with the demand a new factory was built in 1849. One of
their specialties is underglaze Sevres blue, equaling, if not rivaling that of
Sevres. No. 52 is the mark on white ware ; 53, on decorated pieces.

54. A. Lanternier, Limoges. — Established in 1885.

55. M. L. Redon & Co., Limoges. — The paste is excellent.

56. Theodore H aviland, Limoges. — The Cross of the Legion of Honor
is also used as a trade-mark in connection with the name. Mr. Theodore
Haviland, formerly of Haviland & Co., after the dissolution of partnership
January 1, 1890, built a new factory, and the quality of the goods, the taste
shown in the decorations, and the purity of style of the shapes, quickly
secured generous recognition and placed him in the front rank of Limoges
manufacturers.

57-8. Delinieres & Co., Limoges. — Established about 1846, but prior
to 1881 they only made white china. No. 57 was used up to 1893. 58 is the
present mark on white ware, the decoration mark being the name of the firm
in small script in red.

59. Made at Limoges for a New York importer, P. H. Leonard.

Comparatively a new house to the United States ; although an old estab-
lished one whose honors have been reaped principally in the old world
through their soft and harmonious decorations ; have already attracted much
attention here. Mr. Sazerat has been decorated with the Cross of the
Legion of Honor.

62. Gerard, Dufraisseix & Cie, Limoges. — The AUuauds, well-
known citizens of Limoges, founded this manufactory of china in 1797 ; both
father and son having filled the ofiice of mayor on several occasions. Some
specimens made by them in 1815, having recently come to light, and are in^
teresting, as showing their acquaintance at this early date, with underglaze
or " furnace fire '* color. The factory (known as the " Casseaux '*) continued

under the control of the Alluauds until 1876, when Mr. Charles Field Havl-
land succeeded — his wife being a grand-daughter of M. Alluaud. Prior to
1868 the mark had been A E stamped in the clay. From 1868 to 1872 it was
the mark C F H ^^^o impressed ; the same initials being used as a printed mark
up to 1882. Mr. Haviland retired from active business in 1881, and was
succeeded by E. Gerard, Dufraisseix & Morel, afterwards changed to E,
Gerard, Dufraisseix & Cie, who now control the factory and are represented
in the United States by Gerard, Dufraisseix & Abbot. When this change in
the proprietorship occurred, the initials G D M were added to the mark CFH
the word France being added in 1891. CFH The decoration G D M
stamp /<^^lfp\ has always been used, up ^GDM^ to the present year.
The f^f'^^i beginning of this year was ^ANv signalized by a radical
depar \t^5jjT^y t^^© i^ ^^o productions of the house, and to the merely
p r e t ^"""^^^ ty, wa^ added a higher class of decorations and designs.
This, however, was not the only change, for inspired by absolute faith in the
intrinsic and artistic merits of their goods, they put aside all aid or benefit from
past marks and reputation, standing only on the merits of their wares, and
adopted the following as their marks :

ox DECORATBD ON WHITEWARB ON RICH DECORATED

FRANCE
ALL IN RED UNDERGLAZE IN OLIVE GOLD LETTERS IN GREEN WREATH

A trade-mark is often a guide to value, but primarily is simply a guar-
antee of good faith, and if a piece is purchased solely because it bears a certain
mark, the specimens in your cabinets would better be reversed, and present
the mystic mark only to the gaze of appreciative friends. Courage is an attri-
bute everyone admires, and E. Gerard, Dufraisseix & Cie must be credited
with a high confidence in their wares. A glance at their latest productions
proves this to be well founded and the new marks have already made for
themselves an enviable reputation for choiceness of design, quality and
selection.

63. The white china mark of Haviland & Co. The decoration mark is
the full name of the firm over the word Limoges. It was in 1839 that Mr. D.
Haviland conceived the idea of introducing French china into his market —
an idea that with characteristic American enterprise he tenaciously held until
accomplished. His search for the maker of a cup of exceptionally fine paste
led him to Limoges — a visit that was destined to revolutionize the products of
•that city and to make its name more closely associated with French ceramics
than that of Kouen itself. The existing shapes and decorations did not
appear suitable for this market. New shapes were made for him, and organ-
izing a large decoration shop, he, with the assistance of the ablest talent that
money could command, eventually revolutionized the productions of Limoges,
and gave them the distinctive character possessed by them until this day, and

Of 3£ J

inaugurated a business destined to grow to colossal proportions. From deco-
rating he turned to manufacturing, adopting all the newest processes ; and
the combination of labor-saving devices with the employment of an artistic
element resulted in placing him easily in the front rank of ceramic manufac-
turers. The body ^as equal to any produced at Limoges, the decorations
characterized by an artistic restraint, never overloaded with color less beau-
tiful than the glaze, but in strict harmony with it. The chromo-lithographic
process of printing in colors, whereby very soft and harmonious effects are
produced, found capable exponents here. Nor was the higher artistic ele-
ment wanting, the best modelers obtainable furnishing forms on which skill-
ful artists expended all that careful trai ing and their artistic talent sug-
gested.

64-67. MousTiERS, F. — After Nevers and Rouen the most important
faience-producing town in France. The manufacture flourished from the end
of the seventeenth to the close of the eighteenth century. Nos. 64-5 are the
marks of Olerys ; 66-7, those of Ferand. Pierre Clerissy, who died in 1728,
was one of the earliest of the manufacturers. There is in the Marseilles
Museum a dish signed ** G Viry fit a Moustiers chez Clerissy, 1711.*' Other
marks are A.P : AB.L : E.F : FE.

68. Marseilles, F. — Honore Savy, about 1770, afterwards known
under the title of *^ Manufactur de Monsieur, frere du Roy.**

69. Marseilles, F. — Veuve Perrin.

70. Marseilles, F. — Joseph Robert;

71. Mennecy, S. p. — Founded in 1735 by Francis Barbin, under the
patronage of the Duke de Villeroy. The paste was coated with an enamel of
perfect purity. The decorations were always executed with the utmost care,
and consisted of flowers, landscapes, etc. Groups and statuettes were also
made, and these were painted in very decided colors and Sometimes outlined
in black. In 1773 the manufactory was united with that of Bourg la Reine,
which then discontinued the making of porcelain and manufactured faience
exclusively,

72-76. NiEDERViLLER, F. and H. P. — Founded in 1742 by Jean Louis
de Beyerle, who enticed away many of Paul Hannong's best workmen.
About 1774 the works passed into the hands of Count Custine, who appointed
Francois Lanfrey, one of the ablest faience makers of his day. as director.

After the Bevolution (1789), and the execution of Count Custine, the works
passed into Lanfrey's hands. Chas. Sauvage, generally called Lemire, a
very talented sculptor, added much to the success of the works. In 1827,
Dryander, of Saarbuck, bought the works, but discontinued the making of
china after a few years. No. 55 is Beyerle's mark ; 58, Lanfrey's ; 56, 57 and
59, marks under Count Custine.

77-82. Nevers, F. — Up to about the middle of the sixteenth century
Italy had taken the load in ceramics, but about this time Louis Gonzaga,
Duke of Nevers, sent for a lot of Italian workmen, and founded the first fac-
tory at Nevers. The Conrade brothers established a second factory about
1608, and under them the Italian style gave place to Oriental decorations,
which in turn were gradually supplanted by the influence of Bouen. To-
wards the end of the eighteenth century there was a marked deterioration,
and the style became debased. No. 77 is the Conrade mark ; 78, that of
Dennis Lefebvre, one of his workmen ; 79, Jacques Bourdu, a painter at
Antoines; 80-81, Henri and Etienne Borne, modelers of statuettes; 82,
attributed to Francois Rodrigues. Of the vast output of the Nevers factories
very few specimens bear any mark.

83 87. Orleans, F., S. P. — Orleans had several factories. March 13,
1753, the title of " Manufacture Royale'' was given to the one founded by
Jacques Etienne Dessaux de Romilly, who was succeeded in 1757 by Gerault
Deraubert. Nos. 83-85 are ascribed to this factory. After the Revolution
stencils (86-87) were used.

tion with Dominicque Chicanneau, established a works in Paris about 1773.

89. Paris, S. P.— Pierre Antoine Hannong, 1722.

90 92. Paris, H. P.— Porcelain k la Reine. Established in 1778 by
Andre-Marie Leboeuf, and patronized by Marie Antoinette. In the early
part of this century this factory belonged to Guy & Housel, who marked their
war "G. H., Rue Theron k Paris.''

93-94. Paris, Rue de Bondy, H. P.— Founded in 1780 by Guerhard &
Dihl. Its productions were skillfully manufactured and decorated, and are
highly esteemed. They are known as "Porcelain du Due d'Angouleme,'*
often erroneously called " Porcelaine d'Angouleme.'' The Duke's cypher
forms the mark. After the Revolution the name of the firm in full was used,
and this, after the Restoration, by '^ Manufac de Mgr le due d'Angouleme k
Paris." Dihl was an able chemist, and many new colors are due to his skill.

95-96. Paris, Pont aux Choux, H. P. — The mark is the cypher of its
patron, the Duke of Orleans, This was replaced in 1773 by **Fabriquedu
Pont aux Choux ".

Jacob Petit, Belleville, Paris. — Established in 1790 at Belle-
ville, and later removed to Fontainbleau, where he made imita-
tions of Dresden china.

97-98. Paris. — H. P. and earthenware. Potter, an Englishman, who
introduced in Paris the manufacture of English earthenware.

99-100. • St. Cloud, S. P. — This was the first manufactory to produce
porcelain in France, if we except a few specimens made by Poterat, of Rouen.
The St. Cloud works were established before 1693 by Chicanneau, his mark
being a rough representation of the sun. No. 100 is the mark after 1712.
Chicanneau died, and his widow, Barbe Coudray, having married Henri
Trow, he assumed control of the works. They were burned down in 1773,
and were not rebuilt.

101-129. Rouen, F. — From the middle of the sixteenth to the close cf
eighteenth century. The Rouen factories were in their zenith early in the
eighteenth century. 101-109 are marks on patterns with radiating designs,
mostly in blue ; 110-113, on decorations in blue, heightened with black ; 114-
117, colored decorations with copper lustre ; 118-121, a la corne designs in
bright colors ; 122127, on similar designs, but with citron yellow predominat-
ing ; 128-9, the marks of A. Poterat, a celebrated Rouen faience manufac-
turer, who made the first pieces of artificial china in France.

Sevres. — From 1753 to 1776 the'crossed L's

were used as a mark, with the addition of a

letter to indicate the year. Then double letters

were commenced and continued until RR, in

1793. Therefore No. 137 indicates 1754 ; 138,

1791 ; 139, 1780. The mark was then changed

to "Sevres," with the Republican monogram

(140-143). This was abandoned in 1800, and the

word "Sevres*' alone remained. In 1801 the

use of letters was resumed as follows :

166-69. ScEAUx, F. and S. P. (near Paris) — Founded about 1750. It
was for some time under the patronage of the Duchesse du Maine, and later
that of the Due du Penthieve, Grand Admiral of France. It became
celebrated under the direction of Chappelle, but reached its zenith under
Richard Glot, a clever ceramist and skillful sculptor of ornaments. The
faience body is very fine and hard. Figures, flowers, birds and arabesques
are the usual decorations, and are generally enriched with delicately
carved ornaments and mouldings. In 1790 Glot sold the factory to Cabaset,
but he could not maintain the prestige his predecessor had given the work,
and shortly afterward confined himself to domestic articles. Soft paste china
was also made under Glot, and it was of the same perfect manufacture and
delicacy of treatment as characterized the faience. The same marks were
used on china as on faience, but on china they were incised ; on the faience
painted on the glaze.

170-71. SiNCENNY, F, — Established in 1737. Productions were in the
style of Rouen. Pierre Pelleve, the first director, was a Rouen man, and
brought with him many Norman workmen. Later the decorations became
more original. A beautiful and vivid citrine yellow is a characteristic and
conspicuous pigment.

172-74. Sarreguemines. — Founded by Paul Utzchneider in 1770, and is
still carried on under the name of Uztchneider & Co. To retain its claim as a
French factory the firm has recently opened a branch works at Degoin, in
France. The manufactures were varied, ranging from china and earthen-
ware for household purposes to figures and groups in biscuit and "Wedgwood
jasper ware, and have always had a good reputation. 173-74 are the modern

marks.

175-76. Valenciennes, F. and H. P. — A faience factory was founded
here in 1735 by Francis Louis Dorez. No. 175 is his mark. In 1785 Fran-
ques founded a porcelain manufactory, but sold it soon afterward to Lamonin-
ary, China of very fine quality was made in addition to terra cotta and
statuettes. These were marked " Valenciennes*', or the abbreviated form
** Valencien''.

177. ViNCENNES, S. P. — Founded in 1740 by two brothers

named Dubois, from the St, Cloud Works. It was later merged

into the Royal Sevres factory.

97-113. Meissen or Dresden. — The discovery in (iermany of kaolin,
A. D. 1710, has been told too often to bear repeating here* It was an event
of world-wide significance, as it quickly led to the making of hard porcelain,
which had hitherto been imported into Europe in small quantities from
China. Notwithstanding the rigid precautions to preserve Bottger's secret,
in spite of the oaths of secrecy daily administered, and of the armed guards,
one by one, workmen possessed of the secret managed to escape, and factor-
ies were established at various points, generally under royal patronage. It
was only natural that the first Dresden artists should copy the designs of the
Chinese, and it was not until 1725 that more original patterns were executed.

Flowers in miniature, tlie well-known Mayflower decoration, and stataettes
with raised flower work were the principle features from 1731 to 1745, when
purer and more classical designs Tollowed. But Frederic the Great robbed tbe
the Meissen works of men and molds for the aggrandizement of his factory at

1-7. Capo di Monte, S. P.— Founded in 1736 by Charles III, near
Naples. Much of the work produced here consisted of designs in relief,
afterwards very carefully painted, the figure subjects being usually highly
stippled. The coloring is bright and effective, the forms well modeled and
very frequently found inspiration from marine objects. The factory was
closed in 1821.

8-10. Ohaffagiola, F,— 16th century, A selection from a number of
marks of the Ohaffagiola pottery or potteries. The stanniferous glaze is of
very even texture and purely white. The use of cobalt bl«e of great bril-
liancy and intensity is one of the leading features. The wares were seldom
lustred,

11. Castel Durante, F. — The manufacture here was at its best from
1525 to 1580. Placques with cupid subjects were freely produced. It was
the rival of and only second to Faenza in the quality of its productions.
The paste was a pale buff. A large quantity of pharmacy jars were made
here. The works declined in 1631. The mark iathat of Francesca Durantin.

12-15. Faenza, F.— 16th and 17th centuries. The most celebrated of
the factories was that of Caso Pirota (14), dating from 1525. Pottery is
known to have been made in Faenza as early as A. D. 590, and it is claimed
the French word faience is derived from the name of this town.

16-17. Medici, S. P. — The first factory in Europe to produce porcelain
(artificial). It was in existence from 1575 to 1587, and but few specimens
are known to exist.

18-22. DocciA, S. P., H. P.— The Marquis Ginori founded a private
factory at Doccia, near Florence, in 1737, and it has been continued by his
descendants up to the present day. They issue some remarkable pieces,
often duplicating old pieces with marvelous fidelity, notably the lustres of
Gubbio. Some molds of the Capo di Monte factory are in their possession
and they still issue reproductions, usually bearing the Capo di Monte mark,
No. 1.

23-24. Genoa, F.— Nineteenth century.

25-26. Milan, F.— About 1750. Usually imitations of Chinese and
often gilded. Decorations are over-glaze on a fine, well-glazed body. The
best factory was that of Pasquale Rubati (25).

27. Monte Lupo, F. — There are dated examples from 1627 to 1663,
generally rudely painted.

28-33. KovE, H. P., S. P., F.— In 1728 a factory was founded here by
G. B. Antonibon, who in 1732 opened a shop in Venice for the sale of its
productions. Pasqual Antonibon was at its head in 1741. In 1751, with the
« aid of Dresden workmen, the manufacture of hard and soft porcelain was
commenced. In 1802 the work» were leased to Baroni, but he was only in
business for a few years. The factory again came into the hands of the
Antonibon family, and they revived the manufacture of china, but since
1885 they have only made faience.

34-35. Savona, F. — Seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The mark
34 is the shield of arms of the city ; 35 is that of Gerolama Salomini (about
1650).

36-37. Vezzi Bros,, Venice.— From 1726 to 1740.

TuaviCcc

Maestro Giorgio, of Gubbio, F. — 1517-
1537. Maestro Giorgio is credited with
the invention of gold and silver lustres,
and frequently pieces painted by other
artists were sent to him to be lustred,
and often bear his mark in addition to
that of the original factory. His paint-
ings were highly esteemed, in addition
to which he was a modeler of no mean
power.

Urbino, F. — From early in the fourteenth centnry
to A. D. 1630. There were employed here a numher
of artists of exceptional ability. The first three
marks are those of Francesco Xanta, whose copies or
adaptations from Raphael have caused a good deal of
divergence of opinion among the critics. His works
date from 1530 to 1542. The next three are the
marks ofOrazio Fontana, who, with his brothers,
Guido and Camillo, are reckoned chief among Italian
ceramic artists. The last mark is that of Nicola
Urbino — probably the father of the three brothers.

Faience was made in Castelli from the 16th to the 18th century, but was
at its best when under the direction of the Grues, a family of exceptional
artistic excellence. In addition to what they themselves painted, they em-
ployed artiiU of great ability and ** continued the work which educated the
Neapolitan school of potters, and enabled the Capo di Monte factory at Naples
to find artists who could produce those excellent paintings which made that
ware more valuable than its relief work ".

I have only given a few of the many well-known marks on Italian
majolica — sufficient to indicate their character. The productions of the
different factories resemble each other so closely that in many cases they
could not be definitely placed, but have been ascribed rightly or wrongly to
various factories.

1-2, 4-5. Alcora, near Valencia, F. — Founded in 1727 by Count d* Aranda
with workmen from the factory at Moustiers. The productions generally
resembled those of Moustiers, and are often mistaken for them, as Olery, who
worked there, was afterwards employed at Alcora, and used the same
mark at both places — an O and L conjoined (1). No. 2 is the abbreviation of
the name of a decorator named Ferrer Vincente. Nos. 4 and 5 are also
artists' signatures whose names are unknown. An important product of this
factory was the large plaques with religious subjects painted in the centre,
generally badly drawn, but harmonious in coloring.

3, 6. Seville, F. — No 3 is here shown considerably reduced. There
are some doubts as to these marks being correctly assigned to Seville.

7. Vista Allegre, near Oporto, H. P. — Established in 1790 by Pinto-
basso, and continued until 1840.

8-14. BuEN Ketiro, Madrid, H. P. — Founded by Charles III, with
workmen and artists from Naples, which accounts for the resemblance of its
wares to Capo di Monti. The works were situated in the palace gardens,
and public access was denied to them. The King had a room in the Escurial
decorated with blue and white cameos made there. The works were blown
up by Lord Hill during the Peninsula War in 1812.

15-18. HisPANO-MoRESQUE, F. — 15, about 1840 ; 16, dated 1610 ; 17,
about 1613 ; 18, date unknown. Dating from 1235, when the Moors founded
the Kingdom of Granada, up to the accession of Ferdinand and Isabella. The
Alhambra vase, one of the finest specimens of Moorish pottery known, dates
about 1312. A rich metallic lustre was one of the principal characteristics.

1-6. Edwin Bennett Potters Co., Baltimore, Md. — Mr. J&tnea Ben-
neit came to this country in 1834, from Woodville, ia Derbyshire. After
working at the Jersey City Pottery, and afterwards at Troy under James
Clews, he established a smail pottery at East Liverpool, the first ever founded
there. He waa joined in 1841 by bis brothers, Daniel, Edwin and William,
and here they made the first rockingham ware made in America. The diffi-
culties of transportation and the washing away of the banks of the river in-
duced them in 1844 l» remove to Pittsburg, Pa., where until 1846 they con-
ducted an increasing business. Edwin and William in this year withdrew
from the firm^ and the former having found suitable clays at Druid's Hill,
Baltimore, built a small works at Canton Avenue, where the business has
been continued ever since. Yellow, rockingham, stoneware and majolica
were made. In 1851 Mr. Bennett originated the familiar Kebekah teapot.
The works were enlarged in 1SS9 and white ware was added to the products.
From 1884 to 1887 both parian and egg-shell china were made, and in 1890
the business was changed to its present form. The marks used up to 1857,
consisted of an impressed stamp with the name of the firm. The first mark
on white ware waa a phcenii, followed in 1873 by a seven-pointed star with
the initials E B in the center. Nos. 1-2 were used in 1886 ; No. 3 in 1890 ;
and Noe. 4, 5, and 6 are the present marks.

The production of the works is limited to white granite and cream color

15-16. Bt'itROiKiHS & MoUNTFORB, Treuton, N, J.— Established in
1879. The character of the designs produced here was excellent, and had a
very large influence on American pottery. Whilst partaking of the style of
Doulton, they had an individuality of their own impossible to mistake. Un-
fortunately, the body wa« sacrificed to the decoration, with the Inevitable

result. This is much to be regretted, as the production promised much ; and
had the same care been taken in manufacturing as in decorating and design,
ing, their regretable failure would probably have been averted. The works
aire now carried on as the Eagle Pottery Co.

Cartlidge. — Mr. Chas. Cartlidge, who for a number of years had acted
as New York agent for Wm. Ridgway, started a small factory at Greenpoint
about 1848 for the manufacture of chin a,, producing at first, principally door
furniture of excellent quality, and employing about sixty hands. Later,
tableware was made in commercial quantities, at first in bone china, but later
in a true hard porcelain. Elijah Tatler, whose son, Mr. W. H. Tatler, now
conducts at Trenton one of the most successful decorating works in America,
was one of the artists employed. Josiah Jones was the modeler, his figure
pieces — busts of prominent men — and plaques being reproduced in parian.
Imitation Wedgwood jasper ware was also made. In 1854 or 1854 Mr. Cart-
lidge, through some outside investment, lost a considerable share of his for-
tune. The firm was dissolved and reorganized under the style of the Ameri-
can Porcelain Mfg. Co. , with Mr. Cartlidge as president ; but the new com-
pany failed to successfully conduct the concern, and the factory was closed
in 1856, the building being afterwards torn down,

y. 18. The Chelsea China Co., New Cumberland. — This fac-

vV tory was erected in 1888, but never paid interest on the investment.
It was thoroughly equipped, but its eapacity was not sufficient to
allow the output to yield a fair return for the investment — about
$100,000. It was closed down in 1896,

19-20. The Ceramic AIit Co. , Trenton, N. J.
— Incorporated under the laws of New Jersey,
May 18, 1889 — Mr. Jonathan Coxon, president,
"^y^Qaj^ and Mr. Walter S. Lenox, secretary and treas-
BELLEQi LEHOX urcr. Mr. Coxon retired in May, 1896, Mr.

Lenox purchasing his interest, the present secretary being Mr. H. A. Brown.
The product of the Ceramic Art Co. consists of fine china body, decorated in
an artistic manner either in the style of Belleek, or with well executed painted
subjects "distinguished for their individuality. Mr. Lenox has been fortun-
ate enough to gather around him a staff of artists who share his ambition to
make for the products of the Ceramic Art Co. a distinct character of their own,
entirely original and entirely independent of any foreign influence. Their
treatment of the loving cup, in a dozen different forms, exemplifies this.
Painted in monochrome, usually a blue of exceptional softness, an underglaze
color is applied on the glaze and then subjected to a glost fire, giving all the
durability and softness of an actual underglaze decoration. The process is,
however, fraught with peril, as frequently pieces have to undergo this heavy
fire five or six times before a satisfactory finish is attained. In vases the
variety of shape is very extensive and it is difficult to make a selection where
purity of form is such a marked characteristic. The Egyptian lotus leaf has
been cleverly adapted as a receptacle for flowers, sometimes with an attend-

ant Cupid, and baa proved a popular novelty. It would partake too much of
the nature of a catalogue to discuss in detail the large number of novelties
produced by thia house, but scarcely without exception they bear the evi-
dence of artistic thought, enhanced by Intelligent craflmanship and technical
execution. Such a combination of qualities is exceptional, and when found is
deserving of quick public recognition and appreciation.

Robertson, and in 1872 by Jas. Robertson; and they carried on business under
thestyleoftheCeramic Art Works. From 1884 Mr. H. C. Robertson con-
ducted the business alone, making many experiments in the regions of for-
gotten arts, until 1888, when the factory was closed. Id 1891 a company
was formed under the slyle of The Chelsea Pottery, U. S., and later the
works were removed to Dedham.

OttandThos. Booth — the first two of whom have passed over to the great
majority, Mr. Booth being the only survivor of the original firm. In 1864
Mr. Booth retired from the firm, and was succeeded by Garret Bchenck Bur-
roughs, and he in turn was succeeded by John Hart Brewer, who entered
upon his long career as the active and progressive head of the concern in
1865. Shortly after Mr, Brewer's entrance into the firm Mr. Bloor withdrew
his interest, and the lirm then became Ott & Brewer, under which name the
old pottery was known for many years. Up to 1875 white ware had formed
the staple production, but in that year Mr, Brewer engaged the services of

Isaac Broome, a noted sculptor and modeler, who began the preparation of a
series of busts and figures in parian for the great Centennial Exhibition of
1876. When the opening took place they had completed a display of artistic
work in clay and enamels which came as a revelation to critics and con-
noisseurs of that period. Encouraged by the success of their first efforts in
the creation of artistic work, the firm began the production of the famous
Belleek pottery — that delicately beautiful fabric which won for the house a
high place in the estimation of the trade and the public. In this production
Mr. Brewer had the assistance of Wm. Bromley, who, originally associated
with Mr. W. H Goss, of Stoke-upon-Trent, later went to Belleek to assist in
its production there. (Messrs. Ott & Brewer's marks on Belleek will be
found under their name.) After the much-regretted failure of Ott & Brewer
during the financial depression of 1892 and 1893, Mr. Chas. Howell Cook
purchased the historic plant, and upon taking possession of the works he an-
nounced his purpose of restoring the business to its old-time prestige, and the
Etruria works is once again the workshop and repository of much that is
best in native ceramics.

30-31. Faience Mfg. Co., Greenpoint, L. I. — Founded in 1880. In
1884 Mr. Edward Lycett, a capable potter and decorator, joined the com-
pany, and under his able administration much progress was made. He in-
troduced a fine body very nearly approaching china, and in this ware pro-
duced many finely painted vases. He also succeeded in reproducing the fine
metallic lustres of Spain and Italy, which at that time were despaired of by
European potters. It is a fact worthy of mention that the Mexican Indians
have long produced these reflets metalliques, though in the course of years the
lustre fades from exposure to the light. Mr. Lycett severed his connection
with the Faience Mfg. Co. in 1890, and two years afterwards the works were
closed.

32-33. The Globe Pottery Co., East Liverpool, O. — The firm now
known as above commenced business in 1881 under the style of Frederick,

Shenkle, Allen & Co,, making yellow and rockingham ware. In 1888 they
were incorporated as above, and at the beginning of the present year added
the manufacture of semi-porcelain.

84-36. The Greenwood Pottery Co., Trenton, N. J. — This company
was incorporated in 1863, the first officers being Chas. Brearley, president ;
Jas. F. Stephens, secretary and treasurer ; Jas. Tams, superintendent. Sub-
sequently Mr. Stephens became president and treasurer, Mr. Tams retaining
his original position. To-day Mr. Tams is the president and Mr. Stephens
the secretary and treasurer, so that practically the works from their inception
to the present day have been under the same management. The early days of
the factory were days to test the courage of the bravest. Experiment fol-
lowed experiment, the trials seemed all that could be desired, but the bulk of
ware was not satisfactory, and the contents of kiln after kiln were consigned
to the rubbish heap. The Greenwood factory may fairly be said to be built
on failure, but every failure taught something, and success came at last. It
was a success when it came worth waiting for, and made ample amends for
all the anxieties of the past. Distinctively an American production, the vitrified
earthenware of the Greenwood China Co. was a manifest advance in ceramics.
It C3n tains the best properties of both earthenware and china, and the mini-
mum of objectionable qualities of either. It is popularly called '^ hotel china ' ' ,
but the definition is not sufficiently comprehensive. The firm also make in
the same body a line of art pottery, principally with metallic decorations, the
prevailing influence in shape being that of Persia and Japan, the forms in
most instances being sufficiently modernized to make them adaptable to
every-day requirement. A rich ivory glaze considerably enhances their ap-
pearance. The stamp on tableware is the name of the firm impressed. No.

GOODWIN BROS

37-39. The Gwdwin Potteey Co., East Liverpool, O. — Established in
1S44 by John Goodwin, a Burslem potter, who received his training, aa did
his father before him, at the factory of James Edwards. Bbckinghom and
yellow ware only were made until 1877, two years after his death. Messrs,
Speeler and Taylor, the pioneers of the pottery industry at Trenton (1852),
were both employes of Mr. Goodwin, In 1877 the manufacture of C. C. was
added, soon followed by a decoratbg department, and under the able and
energeticmanagementof his three SODS, James H., George S, and Henry J.
Ooodwin, assumed important proportions. In 1893 the works were incor-
porated under the present style, Mr. James H. Goodwin, its first president,
died in November, 1896.

40-43. D. P. Haynes & Son, formerly
Haynes, Bennett & Co,, Baltimore, Md, —
For some time no special stamp has been used
on the product of this factory, the wares having
such an individuality as to render a trade-mark
unnecessary. The four given here are old
marks formerly used on Clifton and Avalon
wares, both of which belong to the majolica
family ; on ivory, which is a sound, durable
body of a soft, ivory tint, produced, not by a
stain in the glaze, but by a combination of
clays. The remaining one is the mark on semi-
porcelain, Mr, D, F, Haynes Is to be credited
with the leadership in that little coterie of
American potters who initiated originality of
design as applied to American pottery. The
story cannot be fully told here, though it is one
of great interest, and affords much food for
reflection. Of late years a very considerable
trade has been done in clock cases in decorated
earthenware.

G. S. Harker & Co., until his death. Hia widow and two sons continued
it under the same style until 1S90, in which year it was incorporated as

46-58. The Inteenationai. Pottery Co., Treuton, N. J, — Organized
in 1879, the Incorporators being James Moses, John Moses, Edward Oaik
and Thomas Clark. In September of that year John W. Burgess, Wm. Bur-
gess and John A. Campbell bought out the stock of the above-named gentle
men, and became the proprietors of the International Pottery Co. From
that date to the present the concern has run under the corporate name,
stamping their goods with the trade-mark, Burgess & Campbell, The presi
dent of the concern, Mr. Wm. Burgess, served the Qovemmeat and the in-
terests of the American pottery manufacturers by representing this country

in the Pottery district of Great Britain as Consul to Tunstall during President
Harrison's administration. In the year 1895, Mr. John Campbell, for fifteen
years treasurer of this concern, withdrew, and Mr. E. C. Williamson was
elected to fill the vacancy. The present ofiicers are : Wm. Burgess^ presi
dent ; E. C. Williamson, treasurer ; I. H. Nichol, secretary.

JERSEY CITY

59-65. The Jersey City Pottery Co., Jersey
City, N. J. — The Jersey Porcelain and Earthen-
ware Co. was incorporated December 10, 1825, but
the venture was not a success, and the production
ceased within a year or two. In 1829 it was re-
opened by David and J. Henderson. In 1833
David Henderson organized the American Pottery
Co. Here, for the first time in America, printing
on white ware was practiced. They also made a
brown earthenware decorated in reliefs and colored
enamels. Daniel Greatbatch, a clever modeler,
was employed, and here he produced his well-
known pitcher with hunting scenes in relief, and
the handle in the shape of a hound. In 1845 a
change took place, the proprietorship being vested
in Wm. Khodes, Strong and McGerron, who made
white and C. C, ware until 1854. In 1855 they
sold out to Rouse, Turner, Duncan & Henry, and
a little later House and .Turner carried it on alone.
Some of their shapes were exceedingly good, both
in earthenware and parian, and were largely used
by decorators. The works were pulled down in
1892. No. 59 is an impressed mark, about 1830
No. 60 is printed ; No. 61 impressed, about 1840
No. 62 dates from 1840 to 1845.

of tbe business, who commenced active operationa in the following year, 1854.
Then tbe only kiln was used alternately for bisque and glost ware. The

for many years aa " Liverpool ware." In 1870 John N. Taylor and Homer 8.

bim, the totnl kiln capacity of the works at this time being two kilns — one
for bisqUe and the other for glost ware. This capacity was then increased to
five kilnp — a very large institution for those days. Tbe firm, which was then
called "Knowles, Taylor & Knowles," began the manufacture of white granite,
drawing tbeir iirat kiln of this improved order of goods on September 5,
1873. This waa tbe first white granite made in East Liverpool. The busi-*
nesa grewand the firm put their earnings in the business, enlarged the plant, and

extended their manufacturea, until to-day they stand one of the best equipped
potteries in the world, the works covering six or seven acres of ground and
giving employment to about 700 workpeople. In addition to semi-porcelain,
white granite and hotel ware, the firm a few years ago produced a number of
ornamental pieces they called " Lotus ware ", but the manufacture hoa never
assumed large proportions. In 1891 a corporation was formed, with a p^d-in
capitali of $1,000,000. The officers are as follows: Col. John N. Taylor,
president ; Isaac W, Knowlea (the founder, now in his seventy-eighth year),
vice-president ; Joseph O. Lee, secretary and treasurer. These, with Edwin
M. Knowles, constitute the board of directors.

75-78. The Homer Laughlin China Co., East Liverpool, O. — EetAb-
lished in 1874 by Homer and Shakespeare Laughlin, under the title of
Laughlin Bros., for the purpose of manufacturing white granite. Shake-
speare Laughlin withdrew from the Grm in 1879, and from that year until
January 1, 1897, when the business was incorporated under the above title,
the firm name was Homer Laughlin. For several years a thin, translucent
china was produced, but owing to the difficulty of making two entirely dis-
tinct products in the same plant, the china was discontinued in 1889, and the
product has since l>een confined to a high 'grade semi-vitreous earthenware.
Mr. Laughlin, realizing the possibilities of his art, has never ceased to study
and experinent for better results, and to this indefatigable striving after per-
fection is in a large measure due the success that has, from the first, followed
his efforts. These efforts have been fully appreciated, as witnessed by his
steadily increasing trade and by the awards of the Philadelphia, Cincinnati
and Chicago exhibitions. Mr. Laughlin seems to have exhausted the possi-
bilities of further improvement in semi-porcelain, and might well rest on the
success he has achieved ; but I understand that should trade conditions jus-
tify it the output of the factory will be changed to atrue porcelain exclusively.

LONHUDA

rived from the names of the original promoters. Mr. W. A. (Lon)gy Mr. W.
H. (Hu)nter, Mr. Alfred (Da)y. The productions are similar to Bookwood, the
same beautiful blending of grounds being a noticeable characteristic of both.
What has been said of Bookwood may fairly be applied to Lonhuda. Mr. Long
may be credited with a distinct success, at least artistically. In 1896 the
business was purchased by Mr. S. A. Weller, Zanesville, who is worthily con-
tinuing the good work.

81. Maryland Pottery Co., Baltimore, Md. — Formerly made a line
of decorated earthenware, but for the last few years have made sanitary ware
exclusively.

82. Morris & Willmore, Trenton, N. J. — The Columbia Art Pottery,
as Messrs. Morris & Willmore' s works are called, was built in 1892-3. Mr.
W. T. Morris was educated at the Worcester Porcelain Works, went after-
wards to Belleek, and from there to the Ott and Brewer Works at Trenton,
where Mr. Willmore was a decorator. Mr. Morris' training is evidenced by
the graceful and artistic designs produced by the firm, both in Belleek effects
and in ivory ware for decorators. Some very artistic figure painting on
glazed parian is also produced here.

88-85. The Mayer Pottery Co., Limited, Beaver Falls, Pa. — Was
established in 1881 by Joseph Mayer and Ernest Mayer, who are the sons of
the late Joseph Mayer, of the firm of T. J. & J. Mayer, earthenware manu-
facturers, of the Dale Hall Pottery in Burslem, Staffordshire, England. This
latter firm is spoken of in Metyard's *'Life of Wedgewood,'' and also in
Jewett'f ** Ceramic Art of Great Britain.'' Joseph Mayer, the president of the
Mayer Pottery Co., Limited, was one of the Mayer Bros., importers of earth-
enware in New York ; and Ernest Mayer served his apprenticeship in pot-
ting with G. W. Turner & Sons, of Tunstall, Staffordshire, after which he
was for some time manager of Clementson Bros.' Phoenix and Bell Works, at
Hanley, Staffordshire. The Beaver Falls Pottery was originally owned by
the "Economy Society,". a quaint religious community ot Germans, who
were at one time very wealthy. The present owners purchased the plant
and modernized it. As the name of the town indicates, there is an immense
water-power derived from the Falls, and this pottery is probably the only one
in the world ran entirely by water-power— at any rate, the only one in

America. At first the only production was white granite, but after cod-
siderable experiment and adaptation of English metbodd to American
materia), a very superior grade of underglaze luati-e nand and sprig ware was
produced which gave the firm considerable prestige ; but the demand for this
class of ware was superseded by a call for more modem and artistic decora-
tions, and attention was at once paid to producing a superior grade of under-
glaze printed dinner and tea ware, and to-day a large portion of the produc-
tion is confined to this class of goods, although great success has been ob-
tMued in producing new and attractive colors in glazes, especially in olive
green, which is applied to jardinieres, teapots, parlor cuspidores, etc. The
manufactory was completely destroyed by fire in the fall of 1896, but has
been rebuilt, and manufacturing has recommenced.

is displayed in the decorations, and very rich effects are secured. It speaks
volumes for the enterprise of the firm that in the few years they have been in
business tbey should attain the high position unquestionably occupied by
them.

88-97. John Moseb & Sons CO., Trenton, N. J.— The Gla^ow Pottery
was established by John Moses in 1863, and was one of the first ten potteries
in Trenton. From a small two-kiln pottery it has gradually developed to its
present importance Mr. Moses has catered principally to the wants of the
million rather that a select few, producing large quantities of plain and
decorated earthenware, and is prominently identiSed with the history of
pottery in Trenton. In 1896, Howard B. Moses was taken into partnership.

Thomas Maddock & Sons, Trenton. — Their works are located on
Perry, Ewing, Ogden and Carroll streets, and comprise nearly ten acres of
floor space. The chief product of the factory is sanitary earthenware, be-
sides which they manufacture extensively druggists' sundries, dinner and
toilet ware, and a numbsr of specialties. The original establishment dates
back to 1863, and was the first pottery in America to make sanitary ware.
The founders were Millington & Astbury. In 1872 the firm became Milling-

Clark and Thomas Gray. In 1886, in addition to white ware, they commenced
making a Bemi-porcelain body, finbhed and decorated in an eflfective manner,
one oftheir best efforts being in mazarine blue with decorations in raised
gold. This they christened "Eieti" ware, the product oonsisting princi-
pally of chocolate jugs, jardinieres, individual sugars and creams, and such

174-176. The Warwick China Co. — The extensive potteries of the
Warwick China Co. are situated on the left bank of the Ohio river in the
city of Wheeling, W. Va., and are devoted to the manufacture of a superior
line of semi- vitreous china, jardinieres, and an extensive line of novelties and
art goods in a large assortment of rich and beautiful decorations. The com-
pany was organized in September, 1887, with J. R. McCortney, president ;
and M. N. Cecil, secretary. The board of directors consisted of J. R. Mc-
Cortney, Henry Stamm, A. J. Clark and O. C. Dewey. In the spring of
1889 Mr. McCortney retired, O. C. Dewey was elected president, and A. T.
Young succeeded as director. In November of the same year O. C. Dewey
retired from the presidency, and C. W. Franzheim was elected to fill his
place, which position he held until February, 1893, when he retired, and
Thomas Carr, who at that time was manager, was made president — a posi-
tion he still holds. Since Mr. Carr assumed the management the product of
this factory has made wonderful strides in the favor of both the dealers and
the consuxre^ of the entire United States; and as he is never satisfied that
the limitarons of his art have been reached, further progress may confidently
be looked for.

178-179. West End Pottery Co., East Liverpool, O. — The West End
iPottery Co. was organized in 1893 by Wm. Burgess, Willis Cunning, Geo. W.
lAshbaugh, E. B. Bradshaw, T. R. Bradshaw and Ida O. Bradshaw. The

186-193. Wheeling PorrEity Co., Wheeling, W. Va.— Incorporated

in 1879, Binoe which time the ciq[)Aeity hae been increased fourfold, and prac-
tically continues under the same management as originally cemposed, with
Mr. Ohas. W. Franzheim as president and general manager. One of their
most notable successes has been in rich cobalt decorations, applied not only
utilitarian articles, but to jardinieres and other specialties. *'Made in
America*' is no longer a reproach, and the Wheeling Pottery Co., in adopt-
ing it as a motto showed the courage of their convictions. The American
march of progress is w^l exemplified here. The first three marks were Used
from 1880 to 1886, and the next two from 1886 to 1897, oo white granite;
the two following, since 1893, oh semi-porcelain ; and the last, since 1894,
on C. 0. Their latest product is a china body known as cameo china, a thin
translucent paste in which some effective decorations, mostly in blue and
gold, have been introduced. The eagle and shield mark has been adopted
during tha present year.

Chittenango (N. Y.) Pottery Co. — This company was
organized in 1897, for the manufiictUre of bone china, but to-
wards the close of the year the manufactory was destroyed by
fire and had to be rebuilt. It is now in working order and
p ^eTnti production has commenced. The officers are F. H. Gates,
* president; J. R. Eaton, vice president; W. H. Stewart,
treasurer ; W, J. Logan, secretary. The progress of this company will be
watched with interest, as the directors intend competing w^th the leading
English firms. This is an ambitious venture, but with careful workmanship
and competent art directorship the chances of success are largely in their favor.

" An ideal hand-book on a very interesting and much overlooked
subject." Pittsburg Evening Record,

'* Notwithstanding its unpretentious character, this book contains so
much that is new and valuable that no student of ceramics can afford to be
without it. Much has been written about Belleek, but it seems that our
information was all wrong, not alone as to its origin, but as to the nature
of the ware itself. The story of the Limoges factories is much fuller
than any yet written, and will no doubt, form the basis from which future
historians will work. Until now we had always regarded the second
Spode as the inventor of bone chine, a mistake the best writers on
ceramics have perpetuated. These are but a few evidences of the touches
of originality found in its pages, and that will in time be recognized and
make of it a standard text book." The Clay Worker.

" Full of information about rare and fine earthenware of every de-
scription. Mr. Jervis is a practical man, whose everyday knowledge of
the English and Continental potteries is very extensive, and whose
** Rough Notes " will supply many a woman with just the information
she wants." Review o/ Reviews.

" It contains much information of a valuable character, not found in
any of the expensive text-books." Hamilton ( Ont,) Spectator,
