The firm of Henry Alcock was started in 1861 at the Elder Pottery in Cobridge formerly operated by John Alcock. General earthenware was produced, including white graniteware produced under the names “Ironstone China” and “Parisian porcelain” exclusively for the American markets. The firm continued at Cobridge until 1910 when the Clarence Works at Stoke were engaged. The firm then continued at Stoke under the name 'The Henry Alcock Pottery' until 1935.
