James and William Handley
Staffordshire Potters
1819 to 1832
This gallery of patterns is a work in progress.
Using pieces with known Handley marks and shapes, we are building a reference gallery of patterns.
The gallery is in sections:
-
- China teaware
- China dinner and dessert ware
- Mugs, jugs and vases
- Earthenware teaware, dinner and dessert ware
- Handley Successors teaware
If you have any pieces that could add to this gallery, please contact us here

Key pieces in the attribution of wares made by the Handleys
