Company History
Charles Allerton & Sons (formerly Allerton, Brough &
Green)
operated from the Park Works in Longton, Staffordshire from 1849
to1942.
They were taken over by Cauldon Potteries Ltd in 1912, but continued to
produce wares under the Allertons Ltd name.
Marks
The firm's early wares were unmarked, after which a wide variety of
impressed and printed marks were used (the mark on this Lustre ware
match striker is hard to see)
Match strikers with a Stand
This lustre ware match striker has a striking surface composed of lots
of little clay pellets in which the body of the match striker was
rolled.
