Overview

History & significance

Isleworth Pottery is a site of eighteenth-century ceramic manufacture located in Middlesex, England. The pottery was established in the 1760s and represents an important phase in the development of English porcelain production, operating during a period when domestic porcelain manufacture was still in its relative infancy. The site reflects the experimental ceramic traditions of the era, contributing to the broader history of English pottery industries before the dominance of Staffordshire production. Archaeological remains and historical records document the pottery's operation as a commercial enterprise producing wares during the transitional decades of the Georgian period.
