John Astbury
John Astbury (1688–1743) was an English potter credited with innovations and improvements in earthenware associated with Staffordshire figures.Although an important figure, as with Thomas Whieldon there is considerable uncertainty over which actual pieces were made in his pottery, and so are Astbury ware. This has led to some museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art now calling all its pieces "Style of John Astbury". Astbury-Whieldon ware is another term used. Provided by Wikipedia
