Bridgwood & Clarke was a manufacturer of earthenware at the Churchyard Works in Burslem and the Phoenix Works Tunstall, Staffordshire, England. The business started at the Churchyard Works in Burslem. The partners were Jesse Bridgwood of Tunstall and Edward Clarke "whose practical experience greatly increased the reputation of the works." Much of the output was opaque porcelain or 'white granite' (ironstone) for the American market; "ordinary earthenware in the usual services; artists' goods (palettes, tiles, slabs, saucers, etc.); and door furniture." In 1861 the business employed 40 men, 15 women, 20 boys, and 13 girls. In 1862, they started manufacture at the Phoenix Works in the neighboring town of Tunstall, as well as continuing at the Churchyard Works in Burslem. Bridgwood died in 1864 (aged about 57) and both the works at Burslem and Tunstall were continued by the surviving partner Edward Clarke.
