Domestic and commercial utilitarian wares of stoneware; whisky flagons, beer bottles, acid jars and butter pots, as well as bird waterers, baskets and water filters. Rockingham glazed teapots. Earthenware teapots and jugs to a lesser extent. The stoneware had a borax glaze.
In 1893 the firm was described as ‘stoneware, Rockingham ware, water filter and stone bottle manufacturer.’
Latterly, Donald Grosvenor made electrical insulators.
One piece of terracotta is known.
Only domestic sales are known.
Dear sir/madam,
In the legacy of my father I found a 1½ pint jar with a copy of a claim to the invention.
“Improved maens or appliances for securing the lids or stoppers of earthenware jars”. Patent N° 1350
I would be verry plaesed if You could tell me more about this jar. Sadly I am not able to include a foto of the jar in this frame.
Please forgive me if my english is not correct.
Yours sincerely,
