About us
2SWWilliam Cookworthy's Plymouth Porcelain factory was the first to produce hard-paste porcelain in England and began 250 years ago.
Find out about why it was so important and learn how Cookworthy developed his formula for manufacturing it.
This talk will use some key examples from Plymouth Museums Galleries Archives which holds the largest public collection of Plymouth Porcelain.
This event is part of #Cookworthy250, our celebration of the 250th anniversary of William Cookworthy obtaining a patent for the production of hard paste porcelain in England and establishing a factory in Plymouth.
