INTERESTING HISTORY OF THE STAFFORD-

SHIRE POTTERIES

(From the Slefordshire Advertiser.),

When Dr. Platt wrote his Urinous "Natural History
of Staff rdshire," in the sixteenth century, he noticed the
part of the country now known as the Potteries principally
tor the manufacture of butter-pots—long course earthern
vessels, something like brass-a ark cruc bles.—in which
farmers packed their butter for distant markets. We may
fairly conclude from this circumAance, that the finer de-
scriptions of earthenware were not

len made in the
county. At a later period, the manufacture r f black, red.
and yellow wares, from native clays, began, and the more
extensive trade thus commenced was further increased by
the introduction of the white clays of Devonshire and
,Cornwall; until, rib, uc the middle of the last century, the
genius and enierprise of several eminent potters had ele-
vated crude manufacture into an elegant art, becoming
also an important tributary to the sources of natural
wrath. Tiry district then consisted of a number of scat-
tered villages—we might almost say hamlets—extending
