Highgate Pottery "Established by George Hood, who purchased the land from Mr. Randle-Wilkinson in 1831, and built the manufactory. The works were purchased by Mr. William Emberton in July, 1846, and carried on by him until his death in 1867, since which time they have been carried on by his two sons, Thomas Isaac Emberton and James Emberton, the present [1878] owners. The goods manufactured are all the usual varieties of earthenware for the home markets, and the firm are also large producers of special goods for Ceylon, Calcutta, Bombay, and other Indian markets.

Examples of Whittaker marks which are confused with Emberton:
The marks of Whittaker, Edge & Co and Whittaker & Co (W. E. & Co / W. & Co) are often incorrectly identified as those of Emberton partnerships. Emberton did not register any of their designs and so any mark with a registration diamond or registration number is not that of Emberton. Emberton's factory was based in the town of Tunstall and so any marks with 'Hanley' are those of Whittaker and not Emberton. |

these marks of those of Whitaker partnerships and not Emberton
