| James Sadler was founded in 1882, and was one of the leading manufacturers of teapots in the UK. It all began with James Sadler, who built a factory in Burslem at the heart of the ceramic industry in Stoke-on-Trent, and made a name for himself by making fine earthenware teapots. He soon became famous, and a James Sadler teapot became synonymous with quality and good taste. In 2000 Sadlers business was acquired by Churchill Pottery and in 2007 the Sadlers site was cleared to make way for the Sadlers Park housing development. |
