Southern Porcelain has a capital of $50,000 and 25 acres of land

SOUTHERN CROCKERY. — The discovery of "Caolen," the fine clay of which china and granite ware is made, in South Carolina and Georgia, has introduced among us another branch of industry, likely to prove of great com­mercial value to us. As crockery is an article of almost universal consumption, we may ex­pect it to become an article of extensive exportation.

The "Southern Porcelain Manufacturing Company'' have a capital of fifty thousand dollars, and own a bed of twenty-five acres of the clay, which is pronounced to be equal to the foreign. Their works are about six miles from Bath, near the South Carolina railroad. They have dug down some twenty-four feet without reaching its bottom, and regard the supply as ample for years to come. The company gives employment to some forty persons, and now turn off some four hundred dollars worth of ware per week, which will be increased to eight hundred dollars per week as soon as another kiln is prepared.

At present their operations are confined to the manufacture of pitchers, mugs, and spitoons [sic] spittoons, but they will make table ware in a short time.
