_Harrison and Wedgwood._--John Harrison, of Newcastle, and afterwards of Cliff Bank, Stoke, a man possessed of some means, but little taste, entered into partnership with Josiah Wedgwood on the latter first commencing business. He was not a practical potter, but was taken into partnership by Wedgwood for the advance of capital. They carried on the business at what was Mr. Aldersea’s pottery, at the top of Stoke, opposite the works of Hugh Booth. Here, besides agate and other knife-hafts, they made the ordinary kinds of wares then in demand, both “scratched” and blue. In 1754 they entered into partnership with Thomas Whieldon, and later on the works were, I believe, bought and pulled down by Josiah Spode. * * * * * _Bankes._--Mr. R. Bankes and Mr. John Turner, in 1756, made white stoneware on what, later, formed a part of Josiah Spode’s premises. In 1762 Mr. Turner removed to Lane End, and about 1780 discovered a valuable vein of clay at Green Dock; this he turned to profitable and artistic use in the making of his fine and celebrated cane-coloured and other wares. * * * * * _Aldersea._--John and Thomas Aldersea were makers of tortoiseshell, clouded, and other wares. * * * * * _Hugh Booth_, of Cliff Bank, was one of the leading manufacturers of the district. His productions were common cream-coloured, mottled, and, I believe, lustre-wares. He died unmarried in June, 1789, aged 57, and was succeeded by his brother, Ephraim. * * * * * _Ephraim Booth_ (an alderman of Plymouth), who took into partnership his two sons Hugh and Joseph, and carried on the business under the firm of “Ephraim Booth and Sons.” The eldest of these sons, Hugh Booth, married Ann, daughter of Thomas Lovatt, Esq., and died in 1831. This firm was somewhat extensive, and produced blue printed and other wares. The heading of their bills in 1792 was “Eph^m Booth & Sons, Potters to His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence and St. Andrew’s, in the Kingdom of Great Britain, Earl of Munster, in the Kingdom of Ireland.” “Stoke, Staffordshire.” At that time (1792) some of their productions were “barrel-shape” and other jugs, “ewers and basons,” “cups and saucers, bell-shape handled,” “coffees and saucers, fluted,” all “printed Dresden pattern;” “tureens and ladles, green edge, cream-coloured glaze;” sallads, baking dishes, fish-drainers, oyster-shells, pickle leaves, egg-cups, peppers, mustards, scollop shells, sauce tureens, all stands either “green edge,” “blue edge,” or “blue and green;” tea-pots, milks, bread and butter plates, &c., “narrow flute, printed Dresden pattern,” &c. * * * * * _Wolfe._--Mr. Thomas Wolfe was a very successful manufacturer, the latter part of last century. He died in 1818, and was, I believe, succeeded by his son-in-law, Mr. Robert Hamilton, and afterwards by Messrs. W. Adams and Co.
