about etruria works
from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/etruria_works
the etruria works was a ceramics factory opened by josiah wedgwood in 1769 in a district of stoke-on-trent, staffordshire, england, which he named etruria. the factory ran for 180 years.
wedgwood had previously based his business in the nearby town of burslem at the ivy house works and the brick house works (demolished—the wedgwood institute is built on its site). in 1767 wedgwood paid about three thousand pounds for his new site, which was then known as the ridgehouse estate. it lay directly in the path of the trent and mersey canal of which wedgwood was a promoter. on one side of the canal wedgwood built a large house, etruria hall and on the other side a factory.
there is a description of etruria in the 1930s in jb priestley's
english journey
. by this time the site was affected by mining subsidence, and plans were drawn for a new factory at barlaston some miles south on the trent and mersey canal. the new factory was built in 1938–40 and most of the old factory was demolished in the twentieth century after the wedgwood company moved production to barlaston.

the fine print
the images are the majority of the listing description, so take a look at them closely.
shipping costs have really increased—this is calculated into the buy-it-now price.
i am not able to sell individual items from items i have listed as a group. i just don't have the stamina to create new listings for those. i apologize for that. i haven't initially individually listed items because i don't have enough listing slots to so.
trying to downsize some, though extremely melancholically.
shipping time: i otherwise work more than full time and my health isn't great, so kindly excuse the longer handling time. if i am able to ship sooner, i absolutely will do that
. i appreciate you taking the time to view my listing.
