Decorator of bone china and earthenware at Liverpool Road, Stoke, Stoke-on-Trent
  • The Liverpool Road Pottery was a pottery distributor, and also a decorator of bought-in bone china and earthenware. 

  • The company was owned by a Mr Baskyfield who factored bone china and earthenware from major manufacturers including Thomas C. Wild & Sons Ltd (later Royal Albert, Ltd, Paragon China Ltd and Josiah Wedgwood & Sons Ltd. The company bought in bulk and re-sold to small retailers. 

  • The business also decorated plain white-ware for sale under its own name. Sometime the blank ware had the backstamp of the manufacturer (such as the Alfred Meakin Ltd examples below) and Liverpool Road Pottery / Liverpool Pottery applied their own mark over the original. 

  • Liverpool Road Pottery Ltd was incorporated in September 1956 and dissolved in December 2003. Directors from December 1992 until the time of dissolution were Mrs Doris Edith Frost and Miss Eileen Frost. It is thought that manufacturing had ceased around 1976.

 

Note: there was also a Liverpool Pottery at Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent who also decorated plain white-ware which was made by others and then sold it under its own name.
