Hadderidge Pottery, Burslem

"Hadderidge Pottery These works, carried on by Thomas Heath— and afterwards, successively, by John Wedgwood, Mr. Phillips, and W. & G. Harding - came into the hands of Heath & Blackhurst in 1859, who were succeeded by Blackhurst & Tunnicliffe, and then in 1880 by Blackhurst & Bourne, by whom they were continued for middle-class quality earthenware, plain and decorated, for the home trade.  In this class, all the usual table, toilet, tea and other services and a variety of other articles were made.  The mark is a garter, encircling the initials H & B., B & T., or B & B.  Messrs. Blackhurst & Bourne continued to 1892. From 1895 to 1904, Messrs. W. Edwards & Sons worked the Hadderidge Pottery." Jewitt's 'Ceramic Art of Great Britain 1800-1900'
