Arnold Mountford associated it with a patent taken out on 24 April 1733 by Ralph Shawe (sic) for '. . .a fine body, of which a curious ware may be made, whose outside will be of true chocolate colour, striped with white, and the inside white, much resembling the brown China ware, and glazed with salt. . . .'. By 1736 other Staffordshire potters were imitating it, and Shaw sued John Mitchell of Burslem for infringing his patent. However, the judge found against him and nullifed the patent. It seems likely that Thomas Whieldon was one of the potters who made this type of stoneware as sherds have been found at the site of his pottery in Fenton Vivian which he occupied from 1747. The style of this pot indicates that it is likely to have been made in the late 1740s or early 1750s rather than the late 1730s. White reliefs of the royal arms also appear on lead-glazed redwares, such as the Fitzwilliam's teapot C.618 & A-1928. Part of an unglazed redware teapot with white reliefs of the royal arms, now in the Victoria & Albert Museum (C.83A-1925), was found with other sherds at Fenton Low on the site of a pottery leased from Whieldon briefly by William Meir and then by Edward Warburton from 1751-61.referenceterm-106451adlib-term-1064519cdfd62c-ee07-3884-ae08-c797aad0863118th Century, Midreferenceterm-107736adlib-term-107736e93a8dd1-d76d-320b-be9b-afa352e322a1George IIbrownreferenceterm-42825adlib-term-42825858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39dstonewareHeightcm10.1Lengthcm15referencemedia-45177adlib-media-4517758870d7e-3e39-318d-a1d7-280f417f78e6jpegaa/aa7/C_527_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162553886111imagejpegaa/aa7/mid_C_527_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels362widthpixels50016162553886111imagejpegaa/aa7/C_527_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162553886111imagejpegaa/aa7/preview_C_527_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels181widthpixels25016162553886111image0media
