Samuel Alcock Porcelain c.1822-1859
Despite the fact that the firm of Alcock was very large by comparison with many contemporary Staffordshire factories, their wide range of porcelains has only in recent years attracted the serious collector. Samuel Alcock owned the famous Hill Pottery at Burslem as well as a separate factory at Cobridge. His name is more readily assosiated with red earthenwares with black decoration in the style of early Grecian wares then with porcelain. The Alcock bone-china body is of good quality , well potted and often very richly decorated, even with encrusted flowers in the Coalbrookdale manner. In 1833 the factory employed more than 400 people and their 20 kilns equalled those in use by Minton. Apart from some portrait busts and other models made in unglazed biscuit china, most of Alcock's useful porcelains of 1830-40 are unmarked. That is why the firm is so little known and why many of its productions are wrongly classified as Rockingham or Coalport. The quality is there - but not the maker's mark. Samuel Alcock was displaying his wares at the 1851 Exhibition with a wide range of dinner and dessert services, tea sets, sentrepieces, spill vases, relief-moulded parian jugs, single figures and groups. A good selection of useful earthenware was also made at this period. Samuel Alcock Porcelain Part Dessert Service, c.1840
