Doulton & Watts at Lambeth produced thousands between 1820 to c.1856.The 1832 Representation of the People Act, commonly known as the 1832 Reform Act, was passed just a few months after the Coronation of King William IV. The Act extended voting rights to some two million of the urban middle classes and abolished rotten boroughs. It was proposed for the Whigs by the Prime Minister, Charles Grey (2nd Earl Grey, 1764-1845). Henry Brougham (Baron Brougham and Vaux, 1778-1868), as Lord Chancellor, led in the House of Lords. Images of all three are found on ‘Reform’ commemorative ware.This is one of three similar pink lustre mugs in the Fitzwilliam Collection, the other two are larger. They have the same shape, similar decoration including the inscription ‘REFORM’, and the same mark, which is probably that of Chetham & Robinson, although a ‘C&R’mark was also used by a neighbouring pottery, Chesworth & Robinson. Staffordshire potters were the first, and remained the largest , producers of lustreware, though it was also made in other regions, and is often associated with Sunderland. The engraved images on all three mugs are by ‘Kennedy’, probably James Kennedy of Burslem who made engravings and copper plates for factories as far afield as the Herculaneum Pottery in Liverpool.referenceterm-109918adlib-term-109918b99df2d6-5877-350a-aba8-e750da5d9ef0William IVreferenceterm-110418adlib-term-11041805d711c6-8b77-3dc8-801e-fbc4d8c52049literalEnglandEnglandcountryliteralStaffordshireStaffordshireregionor,Longtonreferenceterm-108171adlib-term-108171c943fe08-bd72-32ab-823c-e1eeb56717b3literalStaffordshireStaffordshireregionBurslemreferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwareHeightcm8.2Widthcm10.8referencemedia-34676adlib-media-34676a7e660bf-c0d7-338c-8dd1-fde8f8c004c6jpegaa/aa2/C_1145_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162710314291imagejpegaa/aa2/mid_C_1145_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels649widthpixels50016162710314291imagejpegaa/aa2/C_1145_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162710314291imagejpegaa/aa2/preview_C_1145_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels325widthpixels25016162710314291image0media
