J. W. Pankhust and Co.

J. W. Pankhust was a manufacturer of stone china and ironstone pottery, located in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. Pankhurst took over the pottery of William Ridgway, who had introduced white granite ware. Between 1850 and 1851, the pottery operated as "J. W. Pankhurst" until J. Dimmock joined as a partner in 1852, at which point "& Co." was added. The company had operations from Charles Street and Old Hall Street in Hanley from 1850 to 1882 until its bankruptcy and subsequent sale to Johnson Bros.
