This is Benjamin Payne (qv), and see also under Mr.Ward at this address in 1736. ANONYMOUS 1747: “Facing the Door of the Old London Spaw, in the Spau Fields during the Welch Fair. All Sorts of Welch Ware, Derby and Staffordshire fine Stone Ware, amongst which are great Variety of curious Tea-Pots of all sizes, that far excel either Silver or China, both for Drawing or Pouring, and not inferior in make or beauty, Likewise all sorts of all Drinking- Glasses, as cheap as before the Act of Parliament……..” (Daily Advertiser 24 August 1747, W.Elliot scrapbooks Vol.VI) ANONYMOUS 1747, “At a China-shop next Door to the York Coffee-House, near Great Turnstile, Lincoln Inn Fields, CHINA, Delft, and Stone Dishes and Plates, Cups and Saucers, at 1 prime cost” (Valpy 1983) ANONYMOUS: 1748, “To be sold very cheap…. The goods of shop in Berry Street, St.James’s, consisting of China Dishes and Plates, Bowls and Basons, Sauceboats, Sugar-Dishes, Tea and Chocolate Cups and saucers, Coffee-Cups with handles, etc. Stone Dishes and Plates, Tureens Basons, Mugs etc. Limehouse Ware Tea-Pots Sauceboats, and Potting-Pots of various Sizes; likewise Flint-Glasses, a Parcel of fine Dutch Tiles, and a very large Quantity of tale (ie tall) Glass Tumblers, Gill and Half-Pint Wine and Water Glasses, at two Shillings per dozen” (LM 145) ANONYMOUS: 30th August 1753 “To be sold under prime cost. The stock of a person leaving off business next door to the Blue Ball & Stag, in King Street, Bloomsbury, consisting of all sorts of Glass, Earthenware, Haberdashery & Grocery. Staffordshire White Ware at 1/6 per dozen ditto Black Ware at 2/- per doz. Red China at 5/- per doz. Tortoiseshell at 6/- per doz. Blue (almost certainly “Littler’s Blue”) at 12/- per doz. (Daily Advertiser, LM 88) ANONYMOUS: 1756, Chinaman’s stock in trade at Bristol to be sold, including “White Delft, Broseley, Staffordshire & Nottingham Stone Ware” (LM 228). This may be the only reference to Broseley saltglaze? Or it might be Jackfield-type ware? ANONYMOUS: 1757, sale by auction of stock in trade of the Stone-Warehouse by Bedford- Court in Red-Lion Square, consisting of China, fine Delft Ware, and fine Mosaick Stone-Ware, Household Goods etc. (Valpy 1985). Perhaps teapots with all-over marbled or mosaic enamelling, or more likely the spikey moulded borders of plates, rather Chinese in style: cf 1755 bill from Thomas Whieldon to Duke of Bedford “1 Doz small mosaick plates…£0-3-0” – quite cheap and presumably plain apart from their borders. Simeon Shaw’s reference to “Mosaic” amongst the moulded patterns for services tends to confirm this (quoted Mountford p.31). Compare two plates from Enoch Wood Coll. in V&A said to have been modelled by Aaron Wood. See also a mosaic border excavated at the Whieldon site at Fenton Vivian (Halfpenny 1997 p.243, pl.8). ANONYMOUS: 1759, Edinburgh, “At the print shop a little above the Royal Exchange Edinburgh....Delft and Stone Ware” (LM 80) ANONYMOUS: 1760, at The Golden Anchor, on the “Terras” in St.James’s Street, advertising Chelsea porcelain (Toppin 1935) See under John Fleetwood, and Jenkin Jones. ANONYMOUS 1764: at the Wheat-Sheaf in Stall-Street, Bath, sale of a “Large, Curious and Capital Collection of China…..” including Chelsea porcelain. Sale apparently to pay creditors (Richards 1999 p.63) ANONYMOUS 1764: ...there is a Person just arrived from Abroad, with a large and curious Parcel of Foreign Ornamental and Useful China.

There is a great Variety of Enamel’d and Pencil Mugs, Quarts, Pints and Half-pints... (Felix Farley’s Bristol Journal 21 Jan.1764, LM 414) 2 ANONYMOUS: 1764, “Now selling extreamly Cheap, at the Glass and China Shop, in Wood- street, near the Church, in Spital-Fields, a Sortment of painted Glass Jars, Beakers and Bottles, for Chimney-Pieces and Flowers; some China Jars and Beakers, and some Figures, very cheap; some Lambs, Dogs and Squirrels at 1s. each……China Dishes……….white Stone Plates at 2s. 6d. per dozen; white Stone Dishes, long and round, cheap; some exceeding large blue and white Liverpool Dishes, white Gally-Tiles for Chimneys, Apothecaries Vials and Gally-Pots, white and blue; glass….China mended in the neatest manner” (Valpy 1985) This possibly the shop, 23 Wood Street, Spitalfields, occupied by Robert Tideswell in 1780. The “painted Glass Jars, Beakers and Bottles for Chimney-Pieces” may well be the small opaque white enamel-decorated glass garnitures made around this period: examples in the V&A. ANONYMOUS 1766: auction in Bristol of cargoes seized from “several Indiamen”, comprising “several Thousand Pieces of curious Useful and Ornamental FOREIGN CHINA….Bowls, Basons, Plates, Dishes, Mugs, Cups ands Saucers, Setts etc.” (Richards 1999 p.64) ANONYMOUS: 1766, London, “A large Assortment of Stone-Dishes, Tureens, Stone-Plates etc. just come from Staffordshire, now selling at a Warehouse opposite Surgeons-Hall in the Old Baily……Stone Plates at 2s 6d per Dozen” (Valpy 1987) See also 1776 advertisement below. ANONYMOUS 1767: (apparently the same address as following entry, here described as “at Mrs Morgan’s”, and also dated in January at the time of St.Paul’s Fair) “...rare old Japan; a magnificent Set of three fine large Jars and two Bekers, japan’d on the china, the like never seen before....India Dressing-Boxes.. carpets, fans etc.etc. Foreign China Breakfast Cups and saucers at 6/- per set, Tea size ditto at 4/- per set; long Blue and White Dishes at 3/6 each.........(Felix Farley’s Bristol Journal, LM 414) ANONYMOUS 1767: Fresh Opened since our last Advertisements....in a large Room, next the Copper Warehouse in Small Street...curious Figures for Centre-pieces viz. Justice, Britannia etc.etc. Large Japan Jars and Beakers... fine Mazareen blue and Gold…and list of Nankeen wares with prices (Felix Farley’s Bristol Journal, LM 414). Bristol porcelain figures? ANONYMOUS: 1773,”To be sold by Auction, In Great George-street, Westminster, three doors from King-street, Tomorrow, A Large Collection of China Flower-Pots and Branches enamelled, of the best Porcelain China…..” (Valpy 1985) ANONYMOUS: “Staffordshire Warehouse, in Cock-Lane, Snow-Hill, a great variety of Cream Colour and white Stone Ware; the stock consists of Dishes in Setts from ten Inches to 21, with tureens, Plates, Butter-Boats, etc. Also an Assortment of Glass on the same Terms” (Valpy. Date of advert not recorded by RH) ANONYMOUS: 1776, “Warehouse opposite Surgeon’s-Hall in the Old Bailey”,“A large Assortment of Stone-Dishes, Tureens, Stone-Plates etc. just come from Staffordshire, now selling at (the address).......... To be taken away by the Buyer, Stone Plates at 2/6 per Dozen” (Valpy). See also Anonymous 1766 advertisement giving same address. ANONYMOUS: 1776 “To be sold by Auction, at King’s Coffee-House in the High Street, Hull on Tuesday the 5th of Novemebr, 1776, at Three O’Clock in the Afternoon. About 70 TONS OF POTTER’S CLAY, taken out of the Pitts of Mr.Wm.Hancock, at Tingmouth, in Devonshire. The 3 Clay may be viewed any Time before the Sale at the Staith of Wm.Andrew in Hull – for further Particulars inquire at the Office of Mr.Codd, in Hull aforesaid”. (York Courant, Oct.22nd 1776, reproduced NCS Newsletter No.39, 1984). See also under William HANCOCK, 1789, earthenware dealer of Newton Abbot: probably the same William Hancock. ANONYMOUS: 1778, a “Bristol shop” advertised that they were supplied every month with a new assortment from the East India Company’s (and other) warehouses in London (Weatherill 1986) ANONYMOUS: 1778, stock of persons leaving off trade to be auctioned by Thomas Norton at corner of King Street, Mint Square, Southwark, including “ABOUT 200 Lots of blue and imaged Staffordshire and Deptford Wares of different Sorts”. (Valpy 1985). This address would appear to be the auctioneer’s home or premises, not the dealer’s shop.

  • 'The Apprentice': Ex-Diversityinc Employee Gives Us the Inside Scoop by Yoji Cole
    http://www.diversityinc.com 'The Apprentice': Ex-DiversityInc Employee Gives Us the Inside Scoop By Yoji Cole If you're a fan of NBC's Donald Trump-led "Apprentice," Surya Yalamanchili, the most recently fired candidate and the former marketing director of DiversityInc, wants to tell you the show is less about dealing with office politics than it is about dealing with being a game contestant. "It wasn't what I expected," said Yalamanchili, who was depicted as intense and focused on the show in contrast to other contestants who were more playful. "I expected a six-week job interview and got a game show, but the game show was the experience of a lifetime." Yalamanchili, 25, who is currently a brand manager for emerging media strategy at Procter & Gamble, one of DiversityInc's 25 Noteworthy Companies in 2006, is an achiever. His potential was evident early on. Prior to P&G, he worked at DiversityInc as an intern and was promoted to director of marketing while he attended college full time. In addition to his salary, DiversityInc paid his tuition at Rutgers University. "Surya is one of the most intelligent people I've ever met," says DiversityInc Partner and Cofounder Luke Visconti. "He was an exceptionally capable intern, easily No. 1 out of hundreds we've employed over the years. He has a keen strategic mind." "At DiversityInc I learned about how diversity should work at an organization to make it stronger," says Yalamanchili. "At Procter, I saw those principles at work. The people here have the utmost integrity.

  • EDITORIAL the Next Issue of This Newsletter Will Be Number 100 By
    EDITORIAL The next issue of this Newsletter will be number 100 by the reckoning I made when I took over with No. 41 in June 1983, 31 years ago. I took over from Brian Ballin after a lacuna of nearly a year, and was given a copy of No. 37, which came out the previous year, to guide me. I received no other briefing and was told by Jeffery Tillett that I was expected to produce four per annum, which for a few years, I obediently did. No one told me that Peter Billson had been doing covers for Brian, so in ignorance I put a steel engraving on the front cover, and hurt his feelings. I also made the Newsletter longer, which put up the cost and eventually the committee told me to reduce the number of issues to two a year. As by this time I was married and promoted at work, this came as a relief, as everything in those days had to be typed laboriously out (and later typed up uniformly by Robin’s sister) and pasted up with illustrations (themselves an innovation) before going off to Tatlers (of blessed memory) for printing. As No. 100 will be my 60 th issue, I sought the committee’s sanction to produce it in colour (good-bye steel engraving on the front cover) and I am sure that those members who have seen the last two issues on the website will know that it looks a million dollars in colour and only a few bob in black-and-white.

    Decoration Decorative colours and patterns were applied to Coalport porcelain by dipping the piece into buckets of coloured glaze, dusting the glaze powder on and then hand-painting. Another important method of creating designs was transfer printing, where a line drawing was scratched into a copper plate, the ceramic colour was brushed over the plate and then wiped off, so it only Early Beginnings remained in the grooves. The plate was then put through The early history of Coalport is complicated. It began a heavy roller with a sheet of special tissue paper, which with 21 year old John Rose who set up a china works in took a print from the plate. This paper was then placed 1793 at Jackfield in partnership with Edward Blakeway. directly onto the ceramic object transferring the print In 1796 they established a porcelain manufactory across as the colour soaked into the surface. the river at Coalport where a canal had recently been built and many new industries were starting up.
