William Littler’s Longton Hall was one of the first British porcelain producers. They remained in business for a litttle more than a decade. The relief moulded leaf and strawberry dishes are the most widely recognised as are the “snowmen” figures produced during the early years. Pieces decorated with moulded and coloured tulip petals are widely admired.

Following the closure of Longton Hall Littler relocated to Scotland to found West Pans. the first producer in Scotland !
