Notes: On loan from C. M. Campbell.
A "C" was used by the porcelain factory at Caughley in Shropshire, England, so this could be one of its pieces. It was founded in 1775 by Thomas Turner and Ambrose Gallimore with engraver Robert Hancock . Their major output was blue and wite porcelain, most of it produced by the printing method. The factory used a soaprock body and many of the designs were copied from Worcester examples or inspired by Chinese porcelain. A number of marks were emplayed including a capital S or C in underglaze blue or Salopian impressed. As the quality began to decline, in part due to experimenting with various body mixtures, Turner sold in 1799 to Blakeley, Rose, & Co of Coalport. [from Printed British Pottery & Porcelain 1750-1900]
