In 1655 a box of “porcelain-earth from the internal parts of the Cherokee nation, four hundred miles from hence (Charleston) on mountains scarcely accessible,” was consigned to another English potter, Richard Champion, who founded the Bristol china-works. This box of clay was sent by Champion’s brother-in-law, Mr. Caleb Lloyd, of Charleston, to be forwarded to the Worcester china-works to be used there in experiments. At the same time another box was sent to Champion for a relative of his, the Earl of Hyndford, who desired Champion to open it and make experiments with it, or to give it to Mr. Goldney, “who is a very curious gentleman.” The curious Mr. Goldney declined using the clay, and Champion experimented unsuccessfully “on the principle of Chinese porcelain,” and then decided to use clay from Cornwall, which was “not so fine as the Cherokee; however, there can be no chance of introducing the latter as a manufacture when it can be so easily procured from Cornwall.” In 1766 the English Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce gave a gold medal to Mr. Samuel Bowen, with the inscription that it was given to him “for his useful observations in china and industrious application of them in Georgia.” It was doubtless the industrious Mr. Bowen’s china that was referred to in Felix Farley’s _Bristol Journal_, in the issue of November 24, 1764. “This week some pieces of porcelain manufactured in Georgia was imported; the materials appear to be good, but the workmanship is far from being admired.” Though this china venture was of enough importance to be-medal its projector, all traces of its location, progress, and fate have been lost. Other and more pretentious pot-works were brought into life by the Massachusetts bounties. In the _Boston Evening Post_ of October 30, 1769, we read, “Wanted immediately at the new Factory in New Boston, four Boys for Apprentices to learn the Art of making Tortoise-shell Cream and Green Colour Plates, Dishes, Coffee and Tea Pots, Cups and Saucers and other Articles in the Potter’s Business, equal to any imported from England. Any Persons inclined to Bind out such Lads to the aforesaid Business is desired to apply immediately at the said Factory or at Leigh’s Intelligence Office.”
