Lot Essay

Together Guy Green (a Liverpool printer) and John Sadler established the 'Printed Ware Manufactory' in 1756. Green went on to run the business after Sadler's retirement in 1770.
According to Jonathan Horne's English Tin-Glazed Tiles, (London, 1989), pl. 723, only one printed design by the factory bears just Green's name.
