Kingsware was developed by Charles Noke and produced at Burslem from 1898 to 1939. Its rich treacle-brown glaze is built up over designs painted in coloured slip, and no other factory managed to replicate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe barrel is decorated all the way round. One side shows a barmaid carrying a jug through the cellar, and the other shows the cellarman with a tankard by a lit window.
