Leonard Street Pottery






 

Location and period of operation:

Leonard St. Pottery

Burslem

c.1953 ?

c.1962 ?

 

Little is known about this company. They appear to have been decorators and guilders of ware produced by others. Some pieces have the mark of Stanley Bone China and also Shelley Potteries which are overstamped by Leonard Street Pottery.

Stanley was a trade name of Charles Amison & Co Ltd. The style of the 'Stanley' mark is c.1953-62 and the suposition is that Leonard St. pottery dates from this period.
