Joseph White

(b Bristol, 28 Dec 1799; d Saint John, NB, 15 Jan 1870). Canadian potter of English birth. In 1814 he was apprenticed to the Bristol potter J. D. Pountney. Later, with his brother James White, he carried on a successful business in Bristol making Rockingham, black teapots and stoneware jugs (1828-55). The brothers' leadless liquid glaze for stoneware was of such quality that London potteries, including Doulton, purchased supplies of it. They retired in 1855 and Joseph White jr (1829-75) took over the pottery. In 1864 Joseph White's son Frederick J. White (1838-1919) persuaded him to buy the Courtenay Bay Pottery, Crouchville, New Brunswick. There he quickly introduced the 'latest English designs' in moulded earthenware and 'superior' stoneware with his Bristol glaze. Though the Crouchville pottery failed under his sons, his grandson James W. Foley (1857-1904), whom he had trained, set up his own pottery in Saint John. White's Foley descendants potted there until 1964, when fire destroyed the premises. The works then transferred to Labelle, Quebec, and, as the Canuck Pottery Ltd, made ornamental earthenware, including moulded jugs.

The Crouchville location was on the shore of Courtney Bay, east of Saint John proper. It later became part of the Parish of Simonds, which in turn was later amalgamated into the greater Saint John expansion.
