I’m sure you know this, but Warren’s (right-hand bottle on the second picture) was the blacking factory where the 12-year-old Charles Dickens was sent to work in 1824. (http://bit.ly/2C5fG0n)

What a treat it is to learn about this style of pottery and to see all the examples. I especially liked the boot shaped spirit flask. I suspect it made the potter’s day more enjoyable when he took a utilitarian object and infused it with some of his creativity.

Taking a look at these lovely old pots I can well understand your passion. They are literally “history in the making”

Good assemblage of stone wares and pics today by GA . Variations used as cider jars in the West C.ountry, these domestic wares were strong well bodied they had to be. London wares shown here were beautifully decorated highly refined for domestic wares. John a bus pass poet PS different again was Bellarmine high fired stone glazed wares.
