\"The Sutherland Works - These works were establishedin Barker Street in about 1860 by Sampson Smith, at whose

death they passedinto the hands of John Adderley, who continued the production of china tea andother services silver and gold luster, and china figures and ornaments, usingthe old style of Sampson Smith.

Sampson Smithestablished his first works in the High Street in c. 1846.
He must be regardedas one of the largest producers of Staffordshire earthenware figures and dogs.An advertisement of 1883 reads: ‘Figures, all kinds and sizes. Dogs, white andgold, black and gold, red and white, and black and white. Jet and gold tea potsand kettles, silver luster tea pots, etc. etc.’
