Burmantofts factory began a business purely focused on the production of piping and construction materials, and then expanded into the production of very colourful art pottery.

The pottery they produced was known as faience a type of tin glazed earthenware which the French had perfected.

The key vibrant glazes and decoration also included a technique called barbotine (French for ceramic slip) a mixture of clay and water used for moulding or decorating pottery, before the item is fired.
