Adams, J., and Co.

This firm flourished in the third quarter of the nineteenth century (not at the beginning of the century as frequently stated) and has been confused, because of its productions, with the older firm of Adams of Stoke and Tunstall. The firm was styled J. Adams & Co. until 1873 when it became known as Adams & Bromley. Their manufactures included jasper, majolica and parian (busts of Tennyson, Gladstone and Lord Derby).
