Description

This is a pair of bottle ovens located at Johnson's Pottery in Hanley, built in the early 20th century. They are freestanding, circular updraught ovens made of brick, designed for flint calcining. Each oven features a tall, elongated brick hovel with dentilled bands at the rim. The yard elevation includes iron frames for airtight loading doors. Additionally, the stokehole undercroft is still intact at the rear of the ovens.
