Staffordshire pottery and its history

Potters -- England; Staffordshire pottery; Wedgwood ware
The Chatterleys of Shelton were another very successful potting family
of this date. Dr Samuel Chatterley made the ordinary black Egyptian
teapots, but Charles Chatterley went in for the newer cream colour
and secured a large foreign connexion. His brother Ephraim became his
partner, and ultimately carried on the business alone till 1793, when
he handed it over to his nephews, James and Charles Whitehead, sons of
Christopher Whitehead of the Old Hall Factory.[127] Ephraim Chatterley
lived at what is now Chatterley House, and had the singular distinction
of being, in 1784, the first of a long and honourable series of “mock
mayors” of Hanley.[128] Though Hanley and Shelton were united in 1812,
yet it was not till 1856 that they became incorporated as a borough, and
obtained their first genuine Mayor, John Ridgway of Cauldon Place.
The list of potters of 1787, which has already been quoted from, occurs
in a rare “Survey of Staffordshire” made by Wm. Tunnicliffe. The Survey
consists of little but an itinerary of the main roads, and lists of the
manufacturers in each town. As we have to rely so much on the fallible
recollections of Shaw, this piece of contemporary evidence is worth
quoting in full.
“Survey of the Counties of Stafford, Chester and Lancaster,
compiled and published at Namptwich in 1787 by Wm. Tunnicliffe,
land surveyor, of Yarlet near Stone; and a Directory of the
principal merchants and manufacturers.”
