Edwin Bodley, Burslem, c. 1875-92
The china section (which was called Crown Works) were taken first by Bodley & Diggory and then by Bodley & Son until Edwin J.D. Bodley began to trade under his own name from June 25, 1875. From 1875 to October 31, 1888, he had William Telford as a partner, but this is not reflected in the trade style E.J.D. Bodley.
Good quality porcelains were produced in the 1875-92 period. On the evidence of the high fractional pattern numbers found on registered forms of 1876, it appears that Bodley continued the former
Samuel Alcock and Hill Pottery Company's pattern-number sequence; numbers such as 4/9172 occur.
Edwin J.D. Bodley's porcelains normally bear impressed or printed name-or initial-marks, but care should be taken to distinguish between these and those of Edward Fisher Bodley & Co. (1864-82) or Edward Fisher Bodley & Son (1882-98), firms which produced earthenwares rather than porcelains. |
