John Astbury

John Astbury

John Astbury (1688—1743) was an English potter credited with innovations associated with Staffordshire figures.

His style of decorating with appliqués is called sprigging. His experiments in adding materials such as flint to potting clay led to changes in color and texture emulated by others. His early work with adding lead to glaze influenced creamware and the later work by Josiah Wedgwood.

Astbury died in Shelton, Staffordshire.
