Trent Pottery, Eastwood, Hanley

"Established at Eastwood in 1867 by Livesley & Davis, the style was, on the retirement of Mr. Livesley in 1871, changed to J H & J Davis. In 1875 J Davis retired and the concern was carried on by J H Davis alone until 1891.

Until about 1870, the productions were confined to white granite-ware for the United States, but dinner, toilet, and tea services, and other articles, both for the home and foreign markets were later added. He was also an extensive maker of sanitary ware.
