Mr. George Allen had a pottery at the corner of Amber
and Frankford Road, Philadelphia, in 1857 and 1858.
This pottery was previously occupied by Ralph B. Beech,
and after Mr. Allen discontinued the business, the plant
was operated for a time by Richard C. Reminey, for the
manufacture of stoneware.
Mr. Allen manufactured white ware, yellow ware, Rock-
ingham ware, and, to a limited extent, Parian. Many of his
moulds used for the cheaper grades of ware were brought
from England, but those employed in the manufacture of
Parian and porcelain were obtained from the Gloucester,
N. J., pottery, which was closed about that period.
Mr. Allen claims to have been the first potter, in this
country, to erect an improved kiln on the English style.
