He traveled to America in 1821 and 1825 where he secured prints from several artists to later transfer to his china. Around 1834, he built the new Greenfield pottery in Turnstall and began producing wares there. The Columbus series was one of his most popular accomplishments.

The platter is in very good condition with a few "mud" spots to the front from the original firing.
