In 1751, the first Worcester Porcelain factory was founded by a group of 15 men, headed by Dr. John Wall, an eminent physician. Dr. Wall along with another of the group, an apothecary called William Davis, developed their method for producing porcelain. Dr. Wall secured the sum of £4500 from the partners to establish the factory in Worcester and those original partnership deeds are still housed in the Museum of Worcester Porcelain. |
