Wedgwood Museum.
"No title of honour was ever more fully earned or
justly deserved than that of "Master Potter"
bestowed, by general acclaim, on Josiah Wedgwood,
of Burslem, who founded, in middle life, the world
famous works at the village he built and christened
"Etruria," some two miles north of Stoke-on-Trent. Through all the years
from its foundation, in 1769, this place has been renowned
both for its ceramic triumphs and for the civic and scientific
labours of a succession of able, if eccentric, men with
a decided streak of genius, who have guided its destinies."
