"The
manufacture of China Ware, to any good purpose, was first begun by the firm of
Hollins, Warburton, Daniel & Co. of Shelton, about the year 1780, they
having purchased from the ingenious Mr. Champion, of Bristol… his interest
in the Patent obtained by Mr.
Cookworthy, Chemist, of Plymouth, for the making of porcelain."
"The
most successful China-manufacturer of his time was Mr. Josiah Spode, of Stoke,
who erected a very large fortune in business and erected at Penkhull a noble
mansion, called the Mount, about the year 1803, which now belongs to his
grandson, of the same name, a minor."
NOTE:
Hollins, Warburton, Daniel & Co produced China in the form of Hard
Paste Porcelain - it was Josiah Spode who invented Bone
China.
