ROTHERHAM POTTERY.

The mark of the Northfield Hawley Pottery Co. Ltd. is a lion 
rampant, with his right paw placed on a globe. This is on the 
back of a saucer, decorated on the front with a print of a rural 
scene in red, in my possession. It is impressed in the ware. 
Fig. 89. Impressed Trade Mark of the Factory, 
and Pattern Mark printed in red, on the Back of the Saucer. 
The trade mark of Hawley Brothers consisted of the initials 
H.B. intertwined in the centre of a shield, and 1790 below them, 
this being the date when William Hawley founded the Top 
Pottery, Rawmarsh.

ROTHWELL POTTERY. 
Messrs. J. R. and F. Kidson, in their book on “ Leeds Pottery," 
state that an important pottery was situated here and was a 
going concern in 1770, doing a considerable trade in earthenware. 
Wares of all kinds appear to have been manufactured, including 
cream ware and the ordinary white ware painted in enamel colours. 
In 1773 it was in difficulties, and very shortly after was closed 
down, much of the stock being purchased by the Leeds Pottery.
