the Borough Pottery in 1869, an extensive works built as a "model" factory. The company worked originally
earthenwares and later in the C20th in bone china. The size of the Borough Pottery and the later expansion to
take in the other works show that Cartwright & Edwards a major pottery producer and were known to produce
a broad range of products * James Reeves also producers as "Asiatic Pheasants" wares are recorded as occupying the Victoria Works in Fenton until 1948 Added Ltd to their mark in 1926. Known to have produced "Asiatic Pheasants" not only in blue but also light brown and possibly other colours as well. |

The C & E mark was also used by Cork & Edge of Burslem but attribution of "Asiatic Pheasants" wares to Cork & Edge may be more wishful thinking than accurate. |
