He and his family are known for large earthenware plates heavily decorated by slip-trailing, often in several colours. Work in this style, even by other makers, is known as Toft ware. Pottery It is thought that Toft, who may have been of Scandinavian origin, operated in the Burslem district during at least 1671–1689.
