ROCKINGHAM OR SWINTON POTTERY. 
9 1 
years at Wentworth, before it was thought of being copied. 
Vessels of this same construction are in existence, which are said 
to be of early Japanese make. These Rockingham Cadogan pots 
are said to produce a better flavour of tea and coffee than any 
others, and were much used by George IV. 
The marks used at the Rockingham Works were 
incised on the “Cadogan Pots.'’ 
ROCKINGHAM in large and small capitals impressed 
in the ware, also MORTLOCK and NORFOLK, impressed, 
Mortlock being the London dealer. 
BRAMELD + + in capital letters impressed. 
BRAMELD & CO. and BRAMELD in small capital letters 
impressed. 
Mr. T. Boynton tells me that he has seen an early piece of 
Rockingham or Swinton Ware marked BINGLEY. 
The crest of Earl Fitzwilliam—a griffin—was adopted in 1825, 
on the commencement of the manufacture of china under the 
assistance of that nobleman, and from that period the pottery was 
known as the Rockingham Works, instead as heretofore as the 
Swinton Works. 
The griffin is usually painted in red, mauve, or purple, with 
“ Rockingham Works, Brameld,” sometimes with the word Royal 
added, in writing letters in corresponding colour to the griffin, in 
seven or eight different forms, above, below and around the 
griffin. 
A. Baguley’s mark, when he worked at Mexborough, has been 
described before. 
Another mark found on the cane coloured jugs with figures in 
white in relief upon them, and the upper part of the handle repre¬ 
senting the tail of a horse, whilst the lower portion of the same 
represents a horse’s shin and hoof, Fig. 82, is BRAMELD in 
relief, surrounded by a wreath, all contained in a raised boss or 
cartouche on the bottom of the jug. One of these pieces is in 
Mr. Hurst's Collection, and he also has two very curious china 
extinguishers of Rockingham Ware. These represent the figures 
of two of the landladies at some of the old country inns. They 
are well modelled and coloured, and are hollowed out and coloured 
brown inside, so that they can be used for extinguishing candles.
