In 1829 the manufactories named by Shaw were E. Mayer & Son; Job Meigh & Son (Old Hall); Dimmock & Co.; Toft & May; J. Keeling; W. Hackwood; T. Taylor; J. Glass; J. & W. Ridgway; Hicks, Meigh, & Johnson; H. Daniel & Sons; J. Yates; and Hollins, Warburton, Daniel, & Co. (New Hall). * * * * * _Mare_ or _Maer_, or _Mayer_.--In the early part of the last century Hugh Mare and John Mare were potters at Hanley, and produced black and mottled wares. Later on were “Elijah Mayer” or “E. Mayer,” then “Elijah Mayer & Son,” and next “Joseph Mayer.” Other potters in the early part of last century were William Simpson, Richard Marsh, Moses Sandford, and John Ellis. Several of these and later potters will be named in the course of the notices of existing manufactories. The potteries in Hanley and Shelton enumerated by Ward in 1843 are the Old Hall, the New Hall, Cauldon Place, William Ridgway and partners (six manufactories), Thomas Dimmock & Co. (three manufactories--formerly James Whitehead, J. and W. Handley, Edmund John Birch, and Christopher Whitehead); Samuel Keeling & Co., formerly John Glass; William Hackwood; Samuel and John Burton, formerly James Keeling; Samuel Mayer, formerly Sarah Brown’s; Thomas Furnival, junior, & Co., formerly Reuben Johnson’s; George Lomas, formerly Barlow and Hammersley’s; Joseph Clementson, formerly Elijah Jones’s (who was a potter about 1760); Yates & May, formerly John and William Yates, successors to their father; William Dudson, formerly William Rivers & Co.; William White, formerly Poulson’s; Henry Mills, then newly erected, and other smaller factories. Edward Phillips was also a manufacturer, and used his name in full, “Edward Phillips, Shelton, Staffordshire,” on his goods. Other names are J. Sneyd, Toft & May, and T. Taylor. * * * * * _John Twemlow_ was in business in 1797. An invoice in my possession is curious as showing some of the goods he made. These are “E Black Teapots, capt., fest^{d.} and fig^{d.}” (Egyptian black tea-pots, capped, festooned, and figured); “ditto upright, fest^{d.} and fig^{d.}”; “Oval E Black Teapots;” ditto “prest leaf,” “scollop top, fest^{d.} and fig^{d.} and banded”; “ditto, prest leaf and fest^{d.} and fig^{d.} and banded a’tip;” “ditto creams” to match; “ditto fluted;” “ditto coffee pots;” octagon tea-pots, with scollop top, and creams to match; oval plain tea-pots (all, so far, are in Egyptian black); “blue and enamelled handled cups and saucers, London size, sprig and border and vine pattern;” “bowls to match.” * * * * * [Illustration: Figs. 465 to 468.--1851--Exhibits of Mr. Meigh, Old Hall Works.] [Illustration: Fig. 469.] [Illustration: Fig. 470.]
