• Notes:
  Alan James started work at the P.P.P. (Premier Pottery Preston) factory in Oakover Road sometime in 1932. Under the tutelage of DAVID DEE he excelled, quickly becoming one the fastest and most proficient wheel throwers in the business. He worked closely alongside and was influenced by both MARGARET KERR and CASTLE HARRIS. James involved himself in nearly all aspects of the factory and was one of the driving forces behind the factory's most notable and successful ranges including PAMELA and REMUED wares. Despite James’ huge output very few signed examples of his work have come to light.
