The original Castleford Pottery operated from c. 1793 to 1820 in Castleford in Yorkshire, England. It was owned by David Dunderdale, and is especially known for making "a smear-glazed, finely moulded, white stoneware". This included feldspar, giving it a degree of opacity unusual in a stoneware. The designs typically included relief elements, and edges of the main shape and the panels into which the body was divided were often highlighted with blue overglaze enamel. Most pieces were teapots or accompanying milk jugs, sugar bowls and slop bowls (but not cups and saucers), and the shapes often derived from those used in contemporary silversmithing.

  • The original Castleford Pottery operated from c. 1793 to 1820 in Castleford in Yorkshire, England. It was owned by David Dunderdale, and is especially known for making "a smear-glazed, finely moulded, white stoneware". This included feldspar, giving it a degree of opacity unusual in a stoneware. The designs typically included relief elements, and edges of the main shape and the panels into which the body was divided were often highlighted with blue overglaze enamel. Most pieces were teapots or accompanying milk jugs, sugar bowls and slop bowls (but not cups and saucers), and the shapes often derived from those used in contemporary silversmithing. This style was used by other potteries, in Yorkshire, Staffordshire, and probably elsewhere, and the tendency in recent decades is to call pieces that are not marked (the great majority) Castleford-type wares. These were made by several potteries in the same period. The Castleford Pottery depended largely on exports to Europe, especially the Baltic, and apparently owned its own ships. Like other English potteries, the disruption to trade from the Napoleonic Wars was a blow from which it never recovered. The works, on what is now Pottery Street, Castleford, had been a pottery under previous owners since about 1770, and continued to be so after the sale by Dunderdale in 1820. It is claimed that the same premises operated as a pottery from c. 1770 until the last business, Clokie & Co, closed in 1961. The "Pottery River", an ox-bow branch of the River Calder, gave easy access to barges. The sculptor Henry Moore, who came from Castleford, attended pottery painting classes in the town in the 1920s.
