In 1752 he went into partnership with John Harrison, a tradesman of Newcastle, and they took the factory of the Alders’ at Cliff Bank, Stoke. Here they turned out the agate knife-blades and buttons that Alders had produced before. In two years Wedgwood was able to leave this partnership and join with Whieldon, the best potter of the day. For five years at least these two men were in partnership. Whieldon supplied the skill and traditional knowledge, and Wedgwood the extraordinary energy which was his chief characteristic. His experiments were incessant, and the fine green glaze seen on his cauliflower ware, his first real success, was his reward. [Illustration: Truly and affectionately yours, J.
