The porcelain factories at Plymouth and Bristol were among the earliest English manufacturers of porcelain. William Cookworthy, (born at Kingsbridge), a Quaker Pharmacist of Plymouth, was greatly interested in locating in Cornwall and Devon, minerals similar to those described by Père François Xavier d'Entrècolles, a Jesuit missionary who worked in China during the early eighteenth century, as forming the basis of Chinese porcelain. In 1768 he founded a works at Plymouth for the production of porcelain similar to the Chinese but from Devon materials.
