Jewitt, Llewellynn Frederick William

Pottery, British -- History

In the _Art-Journal_ for 1869 a notice of the account-books of the
Bow works, now belonging to Lady Charlotte Schrieber, is given; and
this I here quote, as it contains some highly interesting matter:--

“The first contains the accounts from January, 1750.--1. O.S.,
in which year the partnership of Messrs. Crowther and Weatherby
commenced, up to December, 1755. From these it appears that a branch
establishment was opened in London in 1753, which, no doubt, was that
of St. Catherine’s, near the Tower,[69] although the place is not
mentioned. An account is given in separate columns of the value of the
_bisket_ and _glazed-ware_ taken into the warehouse at Bow,
and sold out of the warehouses at London and Bow, in each year.

“A statement for the year 1754 is here given, to show the extent of the
business transacted.
