The Tyzack company was an amalgamation of various family members. James Tyzack (1798-1860), had the ‘special command and authority of H.M.G Majesty the Queen and other members of Royalty and the aristocracy. Listed in Pigot’s directory of 1830 as a silversmith, perfumer and hairdresser, his brother Richard Webber Tyzack (1817-95), who emigrated to South Africa in 1850, was his agent in London and may well have commissioned a Thames-side pottery (Stephen Green?); he was described as a general postman. His brother William was a Norwich perfumer and hairdresser, other family members were ink and boot black makers at Wells, Norfolk. Thin side flake & in manufacture (?) stain line where bottom is joined to upper section. Great colour.
