Turner (potters)
The Turner family of Pottery, potters was active in Staffordshire, England 1756-1829. Their manufactures have been compared favourably with, and sometimes confused with, those of Josiah Wedgwood and Sons. Josiah Wedgwood was both a friend and a commercial rival of John Turner the elder, the first notable potter in the family. The Turner factory, like Wedgwood, mostly made fine earthenwares and stonewares but, briefly and not very successfully, made hard-paste porcelain themselves.

The Turner factory was the leading and best maker, but many others also m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
