“Glide on, my bark, the summer’s tide Is gently flowing by thy side; Around thy prow the waters bright, In circling rounds of broken light, Are glittering as if ocean gave Her countless gems to deck the wave.” and on the third, is a similar border:-- “THE SAILOR’S TEAR. “He leap’d into the boat, As it lay upon the strand, But, oh! his heart was far away With friends upon the land; He thought of those he lov’d the best, A wife and infant dear; And feeling fill’d the sailor’s breast, The sailor’s eye--a tear.” On the outside, are also three engravings. The first is a ship in full sail; the next a border of flowers with a small “world” at top, with the verse:-- “This is a good world to live in, To lend, or to spend, or to give in, But to beg or to borrow, Or to get a man’s own, It is such a world As never was known.” and the third has a border of flowers and the verse:-- “The loss of gold is great, The loss of health is more. But losing Christ is such a loss As no man can restore.” SOUTH HYLTON OR FORD POTTERY. The works of Messrs. John Dawson & Co. were erected by them in 1800, and were carried on by the firm until 1864, when, on the death of the last of the family, Mr. Charles Dawson, they were closed and converted into bottle houses; these were destroyed by fire. The flint mill was taken by Mr. Ball, of the Deptford Pottery, who grinds large quantities of flint for both home consumption and export. The mark was simply the name “DAWSON” impressed in the ware. A part of the premises were, several years afterwards, used as a brown ware manufactory, and later still by Messrs. Isaac Fell and Co. SOUTHWICK. The _Southwick Pottery_ was built in 1788, by Mr. Anthony Scott, who had, previously to that time, carried on a small potwork at Newbottle, and it is still the property of one of his descendants, Mr. Anthony Scott, and is carried on by that family, under the style of “Scott Brothers and Co.” At these works, which are among the most successful in the district, and where especial care is taken as to quality of the productions, the usual classes of white, coloured and brown earthenware are produced. In these works upwards of 150 “hands” are employed. The goods are made for foreign markets, the greater part being exported to Denmark and Germany. Messrs. Scott Brothers and Co., of these works, stand--and deservedly so--high in the scale of manufacturers, and their goods, whether of the finer or of the commoner classes, are in good repute, and are well calculated for an extensive home trade. * * * * *
