Date of operation: Godden 'Encyclopedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks' gives the dates of operation as 1841-43. However Jewitt's 'Ceramic Art of Great Britain 1800-1900 - revised' states about the Villa Pottery: 'From about 1835 to 1845, it was carried on by Jones & Walley.' From 1845 until 1865, Edward Walley continued the Villa Pottery'. A notice in the London Gazette gives the date of dissolution of the partnership as 19th February 1845. Therfore the date range of 1841-43 appears to be incorrect and 1835 to 1845 is prefered. |
