Wheatley
Pottery was established in 1903 by T.J. Wheatley.
Wheatley Pottery produced arts and crafts style
pottery of a similar style to Grueby Pottery.
Wheatley Pottery is characterized by forms, decorated
in relief, and covered in thick matte green, blue,
and yellow glazes.
It is believed that the production of art pottery
at Wheatley ceased by 1910. Wheatley continued
in existence until 1927 when the Cambridge Tile
Manufacturing Company acquired Wheatley Pottery.
The pottery's production in the later years consisted
of faience tile, garden ware, and jardineres.
