AmTiquing Trivia: Fell and Company at Newcastle upon Tyne
Fell & Co.; Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, England Founded in 1817. One of the North of England factories, of which there remained about twenty-five on the Tyne, the Wear and the Tees thirty years ago, many of them founded the latter part of the 18th century. The ware was inferior to that of Leeds, but some well modeled statuettes were produced, often spoiled by poor coloring and crude attempts at marbling the bases. A coarse kind of purple gold lustre was often smeared over printed patterns. 1897 A Book of Pottery Marks by W Percival Jervis
