In 1860 Messrs. W. and T. Wills, sculptors, having turned their
attention to the production of works of art in terra-cotta, commenced
the manufacture at this place. The works produced consist of vases,
figures and groups of figures, busts, &c., of a size and character for
drawing-room use. The subjects are principally mythological, and are
admirably modelled--each piece sent out receiving its finishing touches
from the artist’s own hands. In colour, Messrs. Wills’ terra-cottas are
a delicate pink and deep rich red. Their names are marked on each piece.

Among London establishments who, from a long and intimate connection
with some of the more eminent of our porcelain works, may almost be
considered to be manufacturers, are the following. To these firms
the world owes many of the most striking and beautiful of ceramic
productions. These have been designed by the firms themselves, and made
specially for them; they thus become literally their own productions.
