??

 

Earthenware manufacturer at the Unicorn & Pinnox Works, Tunstall,  Stoke-on-Trent, England

  • In 1980 Josiah Wedgwood & Sons Ltd (who, up to this point had nothing to do with Wedgwood & Co.) purchased Enoch Wedgwood (Tunstall) Ltd and it operated within the Wedgwood Group as the 'Unicorn Pottery'. 

  • The output was predominately blue & white prints as souvenir ware.   

  • It is unclear when Josiah Wedgwood & Sons Ltd stopped producing ware under the Unicorn Tableware name.

NOTE: not to be confused with the unrelated 
Unicorn Pottery Ltd (part of the Arthur Wood Group).  

 

Previously: Enoch Wedgwood (Tunstall) Ltd
