Leeds City Council restarted the brand in 1983, making reproduction pieces, but soon had to sell the business. However, in 1888 production was restarted by James Wraith Senior, who used the old designs and marked his products Leeds Pottery. In the early 19th century, however, the company went into a prolonged decline and from 1821 was sold repeatedly, becoming in turn Wainwright & Co., Stephen & James Chappell, Warburton & Britton, and finally Richard Britton & Sons, until it finally closed in 1881. The company's flint mill at Thorpe Arch was in 1814 replaced by a converted windmill on their Leeds premises. Circa 1783 a businessman named William Hartley joined the firm, and the firm was renamed Hartley Greens & Co.

It was created in Hunslet by John Green and Joshua Green, unrelated, around 1756, joined by Richard Humble in 1775 to become Humble, Green, and Co. Leeds Pottery has had a long and complex business history. The 18th-century marks are often copied in later "reproductions" or fakes. The earlier wares were unmarked, and attribution of pieces to Leeds is sometimes uncertain (with Liverpool and Swansea being the most likely alternatives).

Marks Īn impressed mark of "Leeds Pottery" (or "Leeds * Pottery") was introduced around 1775, to which "Hartley Greens & Co" was added from 1800. Some figures, rather in the style of Staffordshire figures by Ralph Wood and others, were made, sold plain or enamelled. Many were "engine-turned", with geometric decoration cut on a wheel. Some black "basalt" stonewares were produced, mostly teawares and after 1790. Other decorative techniques used include "engine-turning", where the body is covered with coloured slip, which is then selectively removed to create a pattern, and (in the early 19th century) " resist lustre" where parts of the piece are covered before a lustreware glaze is applied. 1775, "in a faintly Japanese style".Īlthough all the standard types of colour decoration were used at times ( underglaze painting, overglaze enamels and transfer printing), a high proportion of the earlier wares were not decorated.
