Leeds Pottery, also known as Hartley Greens & Co., was one of the most important pottery manufacturers in England during the 18th and 19th centuries. It was founded in 1756 by a group of businessmen including Richard Frank, a local merchant, and his brother-in-law, William Hartley. They acquired the site of an old brewery in the Hunslet district of Leeds and began producing high-quality earthenware.

The company became particularly well-known for its creamware, a type of fine earthenware that was similar to porcelain. Leeds Pottery's creamware was particularly prized for its delicate, off-white color and its durability. The company also produced a range of other products, including tea sets, jugs, and vases, which were exported to many countries around the world.

In the early 19th century, Leeds Pottery experienced financial difficulties due to increased competition from other potteries and the economic depression that followed more... the Napoleonic Wars. From 1821, the company was sold repeatedly until it finally closed in 1881. less...
