Edwards.—William Edwards, a potter at Lane Delph in 1750, made a very superior kind of earthenware. One of his productions, described by Shaw, was a plate with basket-work rim, the centre part divided into compartments of embossed work, and decorated with various devices.
Johnson.—Thomas and Joseph Johnson made white stone, Crouch, and other wares. Their manufactory was afterwards held by Mayer and Newbold.
Phillips.—About 1760, a son of Mr. Phillips, of Lane Delph, commenced making white stone and other wares at Green Dock, Longton, and afterwards produced cream-coloured ware of good quality.
Sampson Bridgwood.—His manufactory was erected in 1756 by Roger Wood, of the Ash, and occupied by a Mr. Ford, for stone and brown wares.
Greatbach.—Robert Greatbach was bound apprentice with Thomas Whieldon. He afterwards carried on business at Fenton, where he produced a number of good and useful patterns in various wares. Thomas Radford was associated with him in this business, and his engravings were very popular. One of the best examples is a mug bearing “The World in Planisphere,” on which occurs the name “engraved by Radford;” it is very sharply and clearly engraved, and bears, on an heraldic wreath, the initials “E. T.” Another celebrated production was the subject of the “Prodigal Son” on tea-pots, &c. Greatbach was afterwards engaged by Wedgwood, and was a successful modeller.
