Marks used on ware for identification:
|
Marks often included a pattern name along with the initials J.H. and / or the name in fill 'J Heath' - either printed or impressed. NOTE: there were other J Heaths (John or Joseph) working in Stoke-on-Trent in the first half of the 19th century. "Printed marks with the name 'J. Heath' are usually associated with this potter.. the obviously later characteristics of such wares should preclude confusion with the [earlier] products of John Heath of the Sytch Pottery, Burslem" The Dictionary of Blue and White Printed Pottery 1780-1880"; Coysh and Henrywood
