Background of Don Pottery
John Green of the Leeds Pottery established the pottery in the late eighteenth century, circa 1790.
The factory was located in the town of Swinton in South Yorkshire, England, on the River Don.
Don pottery produced cream-colored earthenware in the same style as Leeds pottery and white earthenware with blue transfer printing.
While the pottery was initially very successful, financial problems arose in the 1830s, and the Greens were forced to sell it in 1834.
