STOCKTON-ON-TEES POTTERY.

Ltd,” and it is to Mr. P. Graham, of the above firm, that I am 
indebted for much of the information concerning them. 
Old Clarence Pottery, Stockton. Founded in 1825 by 
Thomas Harwood, and subsequently carried on by his sons as 
“ Harwood Brothers” and others, and demolished about 1887. 
Only Sunderland ware was made here, and no special mark was 
ever used. 
Stockton Pottery, Stockton, Ainsworth’s. Founded in the 
forties by Thomas Ainsworth, and closed down and demolished in 
1901. The mark used was the Stockton coat of arms, namely, an 
anchor and cable impaling a castle, impressed in the ware. 
North Shore Pottery, Smith’s, was demolished about 1888. 
Last carried on by Wm. Smith, a son of the founder, who, after 
leaving Stockton, started Cliffe House Pottery, West Hartlepool. 
This pottery was demolished about 1898. I have a plate marked 
G. F. S. (George Fothergill Smith).
