Notes:
Profusely illustrated. Focuses on the firm's stoneware products, not others, in the relatively early years of its existence. Chapters include: 'Fieldspathic stoneware'; 'Market conditions for decorative ceramics in the late 18th century'; 'The documentary record of Chetham & Woolley'; 'The oak-leaf border group'; 'Pearl stoneware jugs'; 'Pearl stoneware mugs'; 'Pratt-type wares'; 'Mist-type wares'. Has seven appendices which include a short profile of the business that latterly became James Underwood Mist [pp116-7], London chinaman. A family tree descends from James Chetham, 1754-1807, and Anne Lowe, 1763-1821
