Mellor, Taylor & Co Caledonia pattern Cream pitcher Antique Late 1800's

Description: This is apparently "Semi Porcelain" - which is a white glazed earthenware. This company was in business from about 1880 to 1903 in England. This is 4 3/4" inches tall and about 5 1/8" from the back of the handle to the front below the spout. It's about 3 1/4" wide. I'm pretty sure this was my great grandmothers - she was a Schuler in Indiana during that time period and married a Ward. Because I don't know for sure and have no way to prove it I'm letting it go. Location and period of operation: Mellor, Taylor & Co Burslem 1880 1903 Earthenware manufacturers at the Top Bridge Works (Longport) from c.1882-3 and the Cleveland Works from c.1884-1904, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent The partners were Thomas Taylor, Henry Prall, Robert White, Ann Mellor and Marmaduke Mellor. In January 1888 Robert White retired from the business. 'Hard durable granite or ironstone china was made for the American market. Goods were also made, to some extent, for the home trade.'It appears that Mellor, Taylor & Co shared the Top Bridge Works with Davenports - it was not at all uncommon for potters to share or rent part of a works. Note that although Godden records Mellor, Taylor & Co as occupying the Cleveland Works from c.1884, Jewitt states that they succeeded Thomas Hughes at the Waterloo Works (Cobridge, Burslem) in 1883. Kelly & Keates trade directories records them at Bournes Bank (Burslem) between 1880 and 1884; and from 1887 to 1900 at Waterloo Road (Burslem) At the time of the bankruptcy of the business the named partners will Marmaduke Mellor, Ann Mellor and Thomas Taylor.
