[9] This ware turned yellow with the glaze.

[10] The uncoloured lead glaze generally gave a warm yellow tint to the ware.

[11] The manganese lead glaze darkened the ware to a rich brown. It produced the mottled effect by being dabbed or dusted on in patches.

[12] M. Solon explains this method of reckoning as follows: “Art of the Old English Potter,” p. 32. “The unit was represented by a dozen small pieces, and that unit served as the basis of reckoning for all the rest. For instance, a dish might have been worth a ‘dozen’; a very large dish ‘counted 2 dozen’; of bowls, jugs, cups, and other articles of middle sizes it required 2, 3 or 4 to make a dozen. The potter knew at once the value of the contents of his oven by the number or ‘dozens’ put in; while the workman could easily calculate his wages by the number of ‘dozen’ he made in the week.... So convenient was this method of reckoning that it is kept up to this day in many manufactories both in England and on the Continent.”

[13] This Act was passed in 1661, which would make the date of Plot’s visit to the Potteries 1675-7.

[23] A list of those who joined the “Association to defend and avenge King William” in 1696 is preserved at the Record Office. Among 100 names given in Stoke-on-Trent, which included Hanley, Shelton, Longton, &c., occur side by side the names of Joshua Twiford and Robert Astbry. Is it possible that even then they had their pot-banks side by side, as tradition says, on the knoll where Shelton Church now stands?

[34] The incident referred to, which Shaw says occurred to Astbury, and Wedgwood to Heath, was as follows:—One of them was on a business journey to London, then naturally taken on horseback; before reaching Dunstable or Banbury, his horse’s eyes became inflamed. The ostler of the Inn put a piece of flint into the fire; when it was red-hot he quenched it with water and pounded it to a fine powder, a little of which was blown into the horse’s eye, relieving the inflammation. The potter, noticing the extreme whiteness of the calcined flint, and also the ease with which it was powdered, was led to try this material to improve the whiteness of his ware, and with the most successful results.

[38] A family of Adams lived and potted at the Brick House in Burslem for over 200 years. In 1762 Josiah Wedgwood rented the Brick House works for seven years during the minority of the then Adams of Brick House. The family became extinct early in the nineteenth century.

[76] It is recorded of the Rev. J. Middleton, Master Potter and Curate of Hanley, _c._ 1750, that he refused to hire men by the year, deeming it slavery. It was not till 1866 that the Trade Unions put an end to the annual hiring of grown men by a year’s binding agreement.

[82] Professor Church quotes the following memorandum, done in red enamel on the back of a large dish of Wedgwood’s Queen’s Ware in the possession of Mr Sidney Locock:—“This dish was made at Etruria by Messrs Wedgwood & Bentley, the first year after Messrs Wedgwood & Bentley removed from Burslem to Etruria. Ric. Lawton served his apprenticeship at turning with them, and has had it in his house more than fifty years. It is my brother William’s modelling. It was turned on a hand lathe, as plates were at that date. I preserve this to show the quality of common cream ware before the introduction of growan or Cornwall stone. This body is formed of flint and clay only, the same as used for salt-glazed ware at that time, and flint and lead only instead of salt glaze, and it is fired in the usual and accustomed way and manner, as usual for glazed tea-pots, tortoiseshell, mottled, and agate, and cauliflower, &c. Also sand from the Mole Cop and Baddley Edge was used either in the body or glaze. N.B. Before flint was used they used a certain proportion of slip for the body in the glaze to prevent crazing, and to make it bear a stronger fire in the glaze oven. I was the first person that made use of bone in earthenware when in my apprenticeship at Mr Palmers at Hanley Green.

[84] Many “lives” of Wedgwood have been written, and this is not the place to repeat them. Miss Meteyard has two large volumes on him; Jewitt has one; Smiles holds him up in a recent work as a model of self-help; Professor Church has written a monograph on him and his Jasper Ware; and lastly, Mr Elbert Hubbard, of New York, has made his courtship and marriage the subject of an exhaustive and wholly imaginary study. But many of these works, and some of the Histories of Potting too, are marred by indiscriminating eulogy and a fertile imagination. Simeon Shaw, for instance, within 120 pages, manages to distinguish no fewer than 47 favoured manufacturers by name with praise of this stereotyped character:—“of whom we may observe that great professional ability is in him joined with philanthropy, and a readiness to accelerate every meritorious enterprise.” This, however, is perhaps preferable to the style:—“Wedgwood, poor dear, old soul, got terribly worried,” which distinguishes another of these Histories.
