John Simpson






 

Location and period of operation:

John Simpson, Chell

Burslem
Rotten Row

1710-15
(operating in this period)

 

Potters dated as 1710-15 (operating in this period) are taken from a list of pot works drawn up by Josiah Wedgwood. In 1792 he wrote that he had produced the list by "having examined some of the oldest men in the pottery here, nearly 30 years ago, who knew personally the masters in the pottery..." 
At present I don't have any further information about their working period.

The above information may not be available
for all potters - if you have information to
help complete the records then I would be
happy to include it.
