DR WALL: John Wall (12 October 1708 – 27 June 1776), was born at Powick, Worcestershire, in 1708 - an English physician, one of the founders of the Worcester Royal Infirmary  and the Royal Worcester porcelain works (then the "Worcester Tonquin Manufactory")..  Porcelain production in Worcester started in 1751 and by 1755 Worcester was making the best English blue and white tea wares that money could buy. Dr John Wall perfected a recipe for porcelain that could withstand boiling water and this discovery led to the fame of the factory...He died at Bath on 27 June 1776.. Because Dr. Wall left the firm in 1774 and died in 1776, "First Period" is used here to designate the years 1751 to 1783..
