The first note of a pottery established on the Kingfield site in the Calton district is in 1803 operated by Samuel Austin. The same site housed a brickwork owned by John and then William Anderson, however there is no record of their production of pottery.
In 1819, John Austin took charge. 1824 under William Austin and then Austin & Co. potters in 1825 until 1829 when it passed quickly through a series of hands from Eadie & Co., 1830 R. Rankin, 1831 Walter McFarlane and in 1832 Alexander Paterson. Paterson left the Kingsfield Pottery in 1837 and became the manager of the Wellington Pottery and later the manager of the Clayknowes brickworks in 1839.
The works seem to have been vacant from 1838, then William Grant Junior took on the works until it closed in 1847.
