One of the most important ceramic concerns in Staffordshire in the early nineteenth century, examined here for the first time Entirely new research which identifies a long-forgotten factory, the wares of which have been generally admired but were previously unattributed Comprehensively illustrated This is the first book to explore the work of the forgotten ceramics concern - Chetham & Woolley. The original partnership of James Chetham and Richard Woolley established a factory in Longton, Staffordshire in 1795. The partnership was responsible for developing a new ceramic body - semi-transparent stoneware, properly termed Fildspathic Stoneware. In its day the Chetham & Woolley factory occupied a very important position in the Staffordshire ceramics industry. Until recent research carried out by Colin Wyman practically all memory of Chetham & Woolley had been lost. This book re-establishes the factory's well-deserved reputation.
