The billheads were still written. T. Kempe was managing man in February, 1796. The last account I have is up to February, 1796. During this period (1792 to 1796) the goods manufactured by them, as appears in these invoices, are as follows:--cream-colour, blue-printed, fawn-colour, black, stone, and other wares; “oval concave dishes of various sizes, flatt plates, soups, twifflers, muffins, tureen compots, sauce ditto, boats and stands, root dishes, cover dishes, sallads, bakers, dessert services of various patterns, ewers and basins, cups and saucers, bowls, cream-jugs, tea-pots, chocolates, flower-horns, flower-pots, jugs, sugar-boxes, double-handled coffee cups, salad dishes, sauce boats, gravy pots, candlesticks, baskets and stands, black tea-pots, mugs, figures in great variety, mortars, cheese toasters, raddish dishes, paste pots, tripe pots, Mocoa tumblers, candlestick vases, bow pots, hand vases, French pies, English pies, stone jugs with and without figures, fawn-coloured porter mugs, blue printed dishes and other articles, egg-cups, custards and covers,” &c. The products of this manufactory were of very superior character both as regards the quality of the various bodies, and the modelling, painting, and artistic decoration of the articles. The blackware, in imitation of Wedgwood’s basalts, is remarkably good, and many of the figures and services are of good character. The mark of the firm was usually simply the words LAKIN & POOLE impressed in the body of the ware. On one or two examples the name LAKIN only occurs, and on others R. POOLE. After the death of Mr. Lakin, presumably the potter named above, his widow, in 1824, published a book of his recipes, of which the following is a note:-- “Potting, Enamelling, and Glass Staining.--The valuable Receipts of the late Mr. Thomas Lakin, with proper and necessary directions for their preparation and use in the manufacture of Porcelain Earthenware, and Iron Stone China, together with the most recent and valuable improvements in the advanced art of Glass Staining and Painting. Leeds: Printed for Mrs. Lakin, by Edward Baines. 1824.” Such was its title.
