Welcome

Shown is a 10 inch plate from a group of nautical scenes known as the Shipping Series. The maker is unknown. This is pattern #4239 in the TCC Database of Patterns and Sources.

Undated photo captured by Phil Rowley from the Potteries of Stoke on Trent website. Three stack designs. Difficult to precisely locate the site, which is in the Gladstone Museum vicinity and appears to no longer exist, as Kingcross St. and Chancery Ln no longer intersect as they did in the ca. 1900 map also shown. Anyone care to take on the task of identifying and precisely locating this pottery?

The complete catalog will be posted by approximately August 23 at www.jeffreysevans.com.

This lovely, unmarked 20 ¾” x 15 ¾” platter is related to the “Tendril” pattern (# 8260) and “Tendril Variation” (# 14658) in the TCC Database. It shares elements with both patterns but does not match either exactly. “Tendril” is attributed to Benjamin Adams, in business 1809–1820, at Greengates, Tunstall, Staffordshire.
