Pottery factories (Potworks or Manufactories) ranged from the sublime vast
and purpose-built works with thousands of workers (such as those of Enoch
Wood in Burslem and Josiah Wedgwood in Etruria); to back-street hovels with
one or two workers.
Some
potters built and owned their own works. Many others were tenants in works
built by others and a succession of potters occupied the same works. It was
also a common practice for a works to be split between two different pottery
companies or for a larger manufacturer to let out a smaller section of his
works to a potter who would make ware which was not of interest to the potworks
owner.
All this adds to the happy confusion when trying to trace details of a
particular manufacturer (of which there have been over 1500).
