Taken over in 1912 by Cauldon Potteries Ltd., from which date they operated under the name of Allerton’s Ltd.
Many marks occur with the name or initials of this firm.
The printed marks shown here cause confusion because of the date (1831) incorporated in the marks; they were not used until the 20th century.
