Description:This is a list of "prices delivered by the several persons who have subscribed to the same, below which none of them are to sell the following goods after the 24th of June, 1795."

In other words, pottery manufacturers attempted to safeguard their businesses by agreeing on a list of prices that would be adopted by all.

Having signed up, no manufacturer would undercut his neighbour in dealings for any printed ware, from tea pots (10s 6d) to basons and ewers (7s 9d).
