Blue salt-glazed stoneware appears to have been developed about 1749-50 by Aaron Wedgwood and William Littler, who were both salt-glazed stoneware potters in Burslem, but although brothers-in-law, not in partnership. Littler moved to Longton Hall to make porcelain in 1751, and remained there until 1760.
