Cauliflower wares were made by several Staffordshire potters, including Josiah Wedgwood, and William Greatbatch. Block moulds for a cauliflower teapot and two leaf-wrapped teapot spouts are in the Wedgwood Museum, Barlaston, and are attributed to William Greatbatch, Lower Lane, Fenton, who from MSS sources is known to have supplied various shapes to Wedgwood between 1762-4, see, pp. 25-6, nos.
