History of Davenport family of potters: John Davenport, born in 1765, is said to have begun potting in 1785, first as a workman, and later as a partner with Thomas Wolfe of Stoke. He acquired his own pottery at Longport for the manufacture of earthenware in 1794. In 1830 he retired, and his two sons Henry and William carried on the firm until 1835, when Henry died. This style of the firm then became William Davenport and Company. His two sons took over the direction of the business, which remained in the family until 1887. ***In Good condition, no chips, only a little wear on the glaze in the middle from usage during the 19th century***
