Background
Pickwick papers, Dickens' first novel, was published in original parts from March 1836 to October 1837. The serialisation took off with the introduction of Sam Weller in Chapter 10 and about the same time the Potteries took up producing their themed wares for what was becoming a flourishing market. Godwin, the potters, thrived between the years 1834 and 1866 in Cobridge near Stoke on Trent.
