• Short History of James Stiff:

This firm was established in Lambeth by the potter James Stiff (1808-97) after his sons William and Ebenezer joined him in a partnership in 1863. They produced some fine salt glazed stoneware similar in style and look to those made by the Doulton and Fulham potteries.
James Stiff (1808-97) was born in Rougham, Suffolk the son of Robert Stiff, a workhouse master and farmer. After working as a plasterers assistant he moved to London in 1826 to be apprenticed at the Coade Stone Manufactory.

By 1830 he was working for Doulton and Watts as a mould maker and in 1842 struck out on his own making water filters at a premises in Ferry Street, Lambeth. From there he moved to 39 High Street, and was sufficiently successful to be able to form the partnership with his sons in 1863.
