James Sadler
was founded in 1882, and is one of the leading manufacturers of teapots
in the UK. It all began with James Sadler, who built a factory in Burslem
at the heart of the ceramic industry in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire,
England. He went on to make a name for himself by making fine earthenware
teapots. He soon became famous, and a James Sadler teapot became synonymous
with quality and good taste.
The first teapots were made using a red clay with a dark brown glazed
surface. The Rockingham Brown, or 'Brown Betty' as it is known.
It is an encouraging thought that the original James Sadler, whose great-grandson
is still involved with the firm today, would have approved of the diversity
and design of the current range of collector's teapots.
Remember, if it doesn't have the James Sadler bottom stamp, it isn't a
James Sadler teapot!
