Footnotes
This shape book may allow attribution of unmarked pieces to Machin & Potts, of whom Philip Miller wrote, "The Machin earthenwares are as yet unidentified although some marked stoneware jugs and jasper medallions are known" ('The Machin porcelains, 1809-1840', in Godden Staffordshire Porcelain, 1983, pp.201-208).
