Herculaneum Pottery

The Herculaneum Pottery was based in Toxteth, Liverpool between 1796 and 1840. They made creamware and pearlware pottery as well as bone china porcelain. A large percentage of their produce was exported to America and elsewhere. The company gave it's name to the Herculaneum Dock dock which occupied the site later.
