DON POTTERY.

The election was gained by the party he espoused, and in 
commemoration these jugs, with his portrait and verse, were 
made. They are marked 
DON POTTERY 
pencilled in red on the bottom. 
On the quart jugs the figure appeared on one side, and the verse 
on the other. 
Fig. 14. The Jumper Jug. Mr. T. Boynton's Collection. 
An engraved pattern book was issued by the firm, in the same 
style, and of the same size as that of Hartley, Greens and Co., of 
the Leeds Pottery, many of the Don patterns are identical with 
those of Leeds. A careful comparison of the two books reveals 
the fact that whereas in the latest edition of that of Leeds 269 
patterns are engraved, in that of the Don Pottery 292 are given. 
I have in my possession a very pretty dessert service of fine Don 
earthenware, the comport dishes and plates being each of them 
ornamented inside, with a different fiower, stem, and leaves, beau¬ 
tifully painted, and on the back the name of the same printed in 
red. 
Mr. Hurst has some fine pieces, and the same may be said of 
our own Collection.
