Porcelain research

[RayJ]

I am interested in the origins of Bristol & Worcester Porcelain - essentiallly the 1740 - 1755 period.
Names of particular interest are Benjamin Lund, William Crispe, Richard Holdship, Robert Podmore, John Lyes, Doctor John Wall, and William Davis of Worcester (a very common name unfortunately).
If anyone has come across any information I would be grateful to hear from them.
I have much information on potters etc if others are interested.

There is a vast amount of information in the search engines, if you just put the names plus  - Worcester Porcelain.

thanks Dancing Master
however, unfortunately, this is all well known to me. My research encompasses many years but is largely unpublished. I am really looking for the unusual facts that might be uncovered by family historians delving beyond the usual resources.
I would also point out that a lot of the information on the Internet is unsubstantiated with the notable exception of Rod Dowling’s excellent work at http://www.kalendar.demon.co.uk/
Any information - no matter how seemingly trivial - might help me.
There is a limited amount of information on my own website at http://www.surfworcester.co.uk/porcelain.html
It needs updating when I get round to it!

IN the press only yesterday or the day before someone found an early piece of Worcester 1700's amongst family items in a cabinet bought by a recently deceased relative for £20.00 unknowingly it was a great teasure and has been valued at £10,000.00
