John Bartlam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Bartlam (1735–1781) was a British maker of pottery who emigrated to America in 1763, and established a factory in Cainhoy, then called Cain Hoy, nine miles north of Charleston, South Carolina before moving to Camden, South Carolina. His porcelain is the earliest ever produced on American soil.
