Notes
“Pottery Notes. — Mr. Edward Clarke, recently one of the most prominent potters in the Staffordshire district, England, landed in New York on Sunday last, and is now in this city. Mr. Clarke has established his partnership with Mr. James Carr, formerly of New York, and these two gentlemen will together push forward the work of manufacturing crockery in the old Speeler Pottery, which has been changed in name to that of the Lincoln Pottery.”
