Acme Marls Pottery Bottle Kilns or bottle ovens at Cobridge, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, England, UK


From the 18th century until the 1960s, bottle ovens were the dominating feature of the Staffordshire Potteries. There were over two thousand of them standing at any one time and they could be seen everywhere one looked. Some small factories had only one bottle oven, other large potbanks had as many as twenty-five.
