Abstract:

Article on the history of pottery production in Westbury-on-Trym from about 1691 to 1797, including the main families involved in running the Burfield or Sugar House pottery. In common with a number of other potteries operating in the Bristol area during the eighteenth century, the output of the Burfield pottery seems to have consisted entirely of utilitarian earthenwares including sugar moulds, chimney pots, flower pots and kitchen vessels. While it mainly served a relatively local market there is evidence that pottery was traded as far as Ireland.
