The porcelain made at New Hall principally consisted of tea, dinner, and dessert services, of various designs; but figures and busts, as well as vases, were also, to some extent produced there. [Illustration: Fig. 461.] The later productions of the New Hall China Works, the soft paste, are also scarce, especially the marked pieces. The body is of good colour, and clear, and the decorations, especially the flowered examples, are remarkable for the brightness of their colours. The only mark used--and this was not, it appears, adopted until after 1820--is the one here shown. [Illustration: Figs. 462 to 464.] Batt printing was practised at New Hall, and some remarkably good examples have come under my notice. In 1810, Peter Warburton, on behalf of the company of which he was a partner, is said to have taken out a patent “for printing landscapes and other designs from copper plates, in gold and platinum, upon porcelain and pottery.” The company was also among the first to adopt the improvements in printing on ware made by William Brookes in the beginning of the present century. * * * * * _Glass._--Joseph Glass was a potter in Hanley, in the middle of the seventeenth century, and his works are stated to have been still carried on by him or his son, Joseph Glass, in the beginning of the eighteenth. “Joseph Glass ... clowdy, and a sort of dishes, painted with different coloured slips, and sold at 3_s._ and 3_s._ 6_d._ per dozen.” A tyg bearing his name, IOSEPH GLASS S V H G X, painted round the body is in the Staniforth collection. Later on the works were carried on by John Glass, and from him passed to Samuel Keeling & Co., then to Meakin Brothers, and lastly to Taylor Brothers. The works were situated in Market Street, and have of late years been pulled down. This Samuel Keeling was great nephew to the patentee, James Keeling, mentioned on another page, who was an important manufacturer towards the close of the last century. Mr. Samuel Keeling, one of the patriarchs of the potteries, resided in partial retirement at Rocester. His firm, Messrs. Keeling & Adams, hold three mills at Hanley for grinding potters’ materials. One of them, the Eastwood Mill, consists of two old erections combined; one portion was a pottery worked by William Baddeley; another, the place erected by William Baddeley’s brother James for a silk mill. They also work the Botteslow Mill and the Albion Mill. * * * * * _Twyford._--Twyford, the potter, already named, “commenced business near Shelton Old Hall, the seat of Elijah Fenton’s family; and the only known specimen of his manufacture,” says Shaw, “is a jug made for T. Fenton, Esq.,” then in the possession of his descendant. Mr. Twyford and his children and grandchildren continued as potters, and are now represented by Mr. Thomas Twyford, of the Bath Street Works.
