Items can be found marked with "JHOLDCROFT" but many items can only be attributed by their patterns and rich colors that are documented to come from the Holdcroft potteries. Not only was his work inspired by designs from Minton, Wedgwood and George Jones, but he also made use of some of their actual molds."
