About Anthony Shaw (& Son) (& Co)
Anthony Shaw began making earthenware in Tunstall in 1851, moved to Newfield in 1852 and to Burslem around 1857. He developed export markets in the Americas and registered the Tea Leaf design in 1856. His son James joined in 1882. Around 1898 the neighboring A. J. Wilkinson business took control, retaining the Shaw name; Wilkinson absorbed the business after Shaw died in 1900.
