New Wharf Pottery
Title
Description
1877-1894
Brothers Thomas and William Wood established their pottery on the Burslem Branch of the Trent and Mersey Canal, near a recently-built wharf; fittingly, they called the venture New Wharf Pottery. The 1880 advertisement below promotes the earthenware the company manufactured, an example of which can also be seen below; these plate fragments were found at the Charnley-Persky House in 2015. The company was absorbed by Wood & Son in 1894.
