When the works were taken over by Messrs. Hepworth and 
Heald, Mr. Bowman Heald introduced what is termed the “Bristol 
Ware,” made in various sizes of mugs and jugs, such as are used 
in the Eastern counties and the South of England and in London. 
These goods were formerly made at one of the Bristol Potteries 
(since discontinued) exclusively, hence its name. Gradually Kiln- 
hurst secured almost the whole trade in this particular line, and is 
now practically the only maker of these goods. One great advant¬ 
age is that they are able to produce them with the guarantee that 
they are non-crazing. Within the twenty-three years from 1884 
to 1907, over one million Bristol mugs and jugs were sold. This 
ware is of a dull cream colour with a broad hand of brownish- 
yellow on the top and on the top of the handle. Busts and foliage 
are moulded on to the sides of the body of the pieces.

Besides the home trade a considerable export business is done, 
chiefly to Morocco, Australia, and the West Indian Settlements. 
Orders for Morocco have been executed continually and con¬ 
tinuously for the past five-and-twenty years in spite of strong 
German competition.
