Circa 1880 English Stamped On Base: Copeland COPELAND 1847 - 1899 In 1846, William Taylor Copeland acquired the company outright. He was a classic Victorian gentleman industrialist, combining ownership of the factory with a career in politics and public life, as an MP and as Lord Mayor of London. Under the Copelands, the factory vied with its neighbour Minton in making some of the most spectacular ceramics wares of the age. Gifted artists, such as Charles Ferdinand Hürten, were imported from continental factories and superb pieces were exhibited at the Great Exhibition of London 1851 and International Exhibitions in London 1862 and Paris 1878. The range of wares made by Copelands during the Victorian period was enormous. Statues, busts, tiles, door furniture, toilet wares, special orders for Royalty and Regiments, table ware of all types, ornamental vases, plaques, hotel wares and souvenir wares were all made. Much of the production was exported to Europe, the Empire and in particular to the United States. Between 1833 and 1900, around 35,000 new patterns were introduced – an average of ten new patterns every week. Versions of many of these continued into the 20th Century.
