MAKERS
This section of this site is the very first attempt to systematically catalog enamel-painted figures by their potbank of origin. Since writing it, I have researched and refined further. My forthcoming publication on Staffordshire Figures 1780-1840 (watch for it in 2013) will be current and more correct.
The links to the manufactories below will take you to a photo catalog of each manufactory's figures, biographical data on the manufacturer (where possible), and a guide to the figures' distinctive features. The latter establishes criteria for attribution to a manufactory--thereby opening the door to attributing additional figures. I welcome questions and comments. Many thanks to the many individuals and institutions whose photographs have enabled this educational project.
