Longton Hall Porcelain being further information relating to this interesting fabrique

Bemrose (William). (Porcelain)  With 18 illustrations within text and 49 plates mostly coloured, with tissue-guards Bemrose & Sons,  1906 First Edition   Small folio Original royal blue cloth, lettered and illustrated gilt, top edge gilt A fine copy  Longton Hall porcelain, a soft-paste English porcelain, was produced for approximately 10 years (1749-1760). The factory was established in Staffordshire by William Littler. It is both heavy and translucent, and its typical colours were a pale yellow-green, pink, strong red, crimson and “Littlers” dark blue. Between 1754 and 1757 this blue softened into powder blue, and tureens, sauceboats, and platters emerged from Longton Hall in the shape of cauliflowers, cabbages and lettuces. During this period, William Duesbury, who subsequently founded Derby, enamelled some Longton ware. Because of its short period of existence and faults both in potting and glazing, pieces are extremely rare.
