From its foundation in 1794 until the closure of production in 1887, the Davenport factory developed into one of the major ceramic manufacturers of Staffordshire, producing both pottery and porcelain for domestic and export markets. Illustrated with numerous photographs and examples of marks and patterns, the work traces the company's history, manufacturing techniques, artistic developments and commercial success, while providing collectors and researchers with practical information for identifying and dating Davenport wares.
