Wedgwood
Josiah Wedgwood worked with an established potter, Thomas Whieldon, until 1759, when relatives leased him the Ivy House in Burslem to allow him to start his own pottery business. In 1765, Wedgwood created a new earthenware form which impressed the then English Queen, who gave permission to call it "Queen's Ware"; this new form sold extremely well across Europe. Then, in 1766, Wedgwood bought Etruria, a large Staffordshire estate, as both home and factory site. Almost two hundred and fifty years later, the fame of Wedgwood's fine bone china is world-wide. Wedgwood stores in London regularly receive customers from all over the world purchasing its fine bone china ware.
