Artist biography

Bristol Porcelain Factory

Benjamin Lund produced soft-paste porcelain known as Lund's Bristol Ware between 1749 and 1752. When William Cookworthy (1705-1784) moved his pottery works to Bristol from Plymouth, he began to produce England's first hard-paste porcelain. The works were soon transferred to his factory manager then partner Richard Champion (1743-1791), who directed the factory until its demise around 1782.

Worcester Porcelain Factory

The longest-lived and considered one of the best English porcelain factories, the Worcester factory was founded in 1751. The first era of the factory's history is known as the "Dr. Wall Period" (1751-1776) after John Wall, who was one of the founders and shareholders.
