Radford

Perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of E. Radford's pottery is the water colour style perfected during Radford's time at H. J. Wood. Although he started his own pottery in 1933, the Radford Handcraft Pottery, (usually marked E Radford, Burslem) the rigours of business eventually overwhelmed Radford and he retired from pottery-making, leaving behind an often underated and highly-collectable legacy of high-quality pottery.

Wade

Wade Potteries is today perhaps best known for their hard porcelain collectable figures, although before WWII Wade Potteries also had a thriving industrial ceramics business. The 1950s saw a drop in demand for industrial products and the introduction of more figure ranges, notably the Wade Whimsies. The high quality of Wade's porcelain figures means that models such as Mabel Lucie Atwell's Sam and Sarah and the earlier, pre-war, Disney figures are still popular with Wade pottery collectors today.
