Richard Abbey who had been apprenticed to Sadler set up his own engraving and printing shop in Clieveland Square in 1773.

He may have been involved in attempts to transfer print on porcelain at Brownlow Hill before printing on Liverpool creamware. Henry Baker was previously a partner in Wm Reid & Co, where he was described as an enameller, a term used at the time to describe someone who decorated with enamels, either painted or printed. I know Baker does a deal of pencilled Teapots for the work here and I have seen some pieces of his printing but I am sure the Londoners would buy none of them at any price. However, Sadler had little respect for his capabilities as a printer and wrote to Wedgwood in August 1763: Baker has printed some Teapots and sold a few. Other printers, such as Henry Baker, were also printing creamware in Liverpool about this time. This grew into a very large business and continued into the period when Green was running the printing business alone. From about 1761, Wedgwood was sending creamware to Liverpool to be printed at the Sadler workshop. This wasВ begun some years after the initial business of printing on delftware tilesВ had been established and indeed somewhat later than whenВ printing on porcelain had been added.
