The Middleport Pottery of Burgess and Leigh (opened 1888)  

Hand painting shop

 

Location 18 on the index diagram

Hand painting the biscuit ware
Note the Churchill Toby Jug and the Art Deco bird jug
- we saw the plaster moulds in the store.

The 'golfer' jug - each article has a painted master 
so that the colours can be matched.

Previous is the brushing and selecting shop
Next is the painting of the Churchill Toby Jug

You can skip the rest of the painting section of the tour and go
straight to the bottle kiln and saggars: - skip painting
