James Tyzack (1798-1860), had the ‘special command and authority of H.M.G Majesty the Queen’ and other members of Royalty and the aristocracy, listed in Pigot’s directory of 1830 as a silversmith, perfumer and hairdresser
INKWELL. 3.4 x 3ins base. Variating salt glaze - graduating
to lighter towards the right side.
The Tyzack company is an amalgamation of various family members centred on James products. The family based in East Anglia at Norwich and Wells on the North Norfolk coast. James’ brother Richard Webber Tyzack (1817-95), who emigrated to South Africa in 1850, was his agent in London and may well have commissioned a Thames-side pottery there to make these wells (Stephen Green?); he was married at Spittlefields Church of Christ in Stepney where he was described as a ‘general postman’ at the time. Another brother William was a perfumer and hairdresser in Norwich.
