Antique Macintyre Open Salts, 2 Victorian

Antique Macintyre Salts. Absolutely lovely couple of open salts with a little damage but both still very collectable. Both in marble slipware design. James Macintyre & Co William Saddler Kennedy set up in business at Washington Works, Burslem, in 1843. Eleven years later he was joined by James Macintyre, & the company became known as Kennedy & Macintyre. From 1860 Macintyre carried on the business without Kennedy, & traded under the name of James Macintyre & Company. William Moorcroft worked as a designer for Macintyre from 1898 to 1913. The art pottery department was closed in 1913 so that the company could concentrate on making electrical insulators & since 1928 nothing but industrial wares has been produced.
