James Sadler was founded in 1882, and was one of the leading manufacturers of teapots in the UK. It all began with James Sadler, who built a factory in Burslem at the heart of the ceramic industry in Stoke-on-Trent and made a name for himself by making fine earthenware teapots. He soon became famous, and a James Sadler teapot became synonymous with quality and good taste.
The first teapots were made using a red clay with a dark brown glazed surface. The Rockingham Brown, or 'Brown Betty' as it was affectionately known and was still in production until April 2000 using a more elegant, less utilitarian, white clay. From these beginnings, the company flourished and grew to be world renowned.
