Steve Birks' super deep site is a tribute to a bygone era, chronicling how a pottery center of excellence (they didn't call it that at the time) developed over the centuries in the six English towns of Stoke-on-Trent (in Staffordshire): Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke, Fenton and Longton. Rich in history, text and images, the site provides information on famous potters, tips on collecting and identification, examples of how the pottery is made, and more. There's also a gallery with examples of pottery such as Lustreware, Delft, Majolica, Earthenware, Porcelain, and Tortoiseshell.
