[253] Of another workman employed by Champion, one Anthony Amatt, Mr. Hugh Owen gives some particulars. At one time, attempting to cross the Channel and find employment in France, he was arrested--at the instigation, it is said, of Wedgwood--and confined for some time as a State prisoner. Amatt died in 1851 at the age of ninety-two. Wedgwood was very active in preventing the emigration of English potters, who, he declared, were lured from their country by French and German agents (Meteyard’s _Wedgwood_, ii. p. 475). [254] There are also in existence some examples of undoubted Bristol hard-paste porcelain, covered with a soft lead glaze. [255] The porcelain made by Count Lauraguais, to judge by the analysis given above, must have contained even more kaolin than the Bristol ware.
