Pottery, British -- History
_Wheatbridge Pottery._--These works have been in the family of their
present proprietor for three generations. They are now carried on by
Mrs. J. Walton Wright, the widow of the late proprietor. The staple
trade of the manufactory is general brown ware for the Dutch markets.
The _Alma Pottery_ was commenced by its present proprietor, Mr.
Samuel Lowe, and his then partners, about 1852. After a few years Mr.
Lowe’s two partners withdrew from the concern, and it has continued
in his hands solely to the present time. The goods produced are the
same general kinds, both of wares and articles, as the other Brampton
potteries. In brown ware and in stoneware Mr. Lowe produces filters,
bottles of every kind and size, jugs and mugs, jars of various
descriptions, and all the articles usually produced in these wares, and
of the same general quality as those of other works in the district.

_The Pottery_ of Mr. William Briddon, Jun., produces the usual kinds of

The _London Pottery_, belonging to Messrs. F. Lipscombe & Co., of
London, was established by them for the purpose of manufacturing their
filters.
WHITTINGTON.
At Whittington, pot works have existed from an early date, and are
still continued. At these much good ware and many specialities of
design, &c., were produced; it is only necessary to premise that the
goods are commonly known by the general term of “Chesterfield ware”
or “Nottingham ware”--it being a fact that London houses still sell,
and persist in calling, the products of these Derbyshire works by the
latter name.
