A Salt Glaze jug made by Stephen Green, is, I believe, quite unusual, would love to see a photograph.

And the Warrens blacking bottle probably from the same company that Charles Dickens worked for as a boy, though the factory he worked in was near what is now Hungerford Bridge.

I should imagine the reason pieces like this are no longer produced is that the demand stopped in the past and it became uneconomic for the manufacturers.

I noticed that many of pieces had the same or similar hounds and horsemen on the lower part part of the body. Was there a standard body of which they were a part and the decoration on the upper part of the body was added before firing?

Incidentally, in the far off days of the fifties when I attended The Borough Beaufoy School (now defunct) in Black Prince Road, Lambeth, I passed by the Doulton plant, daily; completely oblivious to it’s function! I wish I had had the opportunity to visit the plant then- oh wasted youth.

I would love to read of the stories of how some of the pieces were found and restored.
