He used the good clay available in South Derbyshire and made domestic ware. Colour (acid), white glaze and blue (alkali) wares were made and were soon being exported. As customary, a long central workshop was flanked by a kiln at each end, for biscuit and glaze firings respectively. There was great demand for toilet bowls and sinks in the 1850s - the flushing rim pan principle still used today was patented by E Sharpe. A new works was built in the 1850s with another pair of kilns (demolished 1 906). There was further development in 1901 across West Street, that site later passing to Burton Co-operative Society, who have since sold part of it; the curved facade of the car parts shop on the corner betrays a former kiln. Sharpe's ran a maximum of six kilns at any one time.
