William Alsager Adderley was a prominent potter who operated Daisy Bank Pottery in Longton, Staffordshire, England, from approximately 1876 to 1905.

He specialized in decorative earthenware, often featuring transfer-printed designs in blue, green, and other colors, with flow blue being a notable style. His wares were popular during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, and many pieces are still collected today for their aesthetic appeal and historical significance.

The mark visible in the image, featuring a ship and the initials “WAA,” is characteristic of Adderley’s production. This particular motif, often combined with names like “Sandwich” or patterns like “Lily,” was used on various tableware and decorative items.
