To Make a Teacup

Demand for fine white and decorated pottery led to a search for new raw materials, the development of new processes, and encouraged new transport systems. In the fifth of eight films Anthony Burton looks at processes and bottle kilns at Stoke-on-Trent; visits a water-powered flint mill in Staffordshire; and tries his hand at shovelling china clay in Cornwall.
