A little history lesson first, courtesy of ThePotteries.org ...
James Frederick Wileman was the son of Henry Wileman, a London (Paddington) china and earthenware dealer who came to the Potteries about 1853 and went into partnership with Joseph King Knight at the Foley Potteries. James and his brother Charles joined their father from 1864 to 1868, when Charles took the new china works built by Henry Wileman in 1860 and James took the original works. Charles retired in 1870 and James assumed control of both potteries.
He was in partnership with J.B. Shelley in 1872, trading as Wileman and Company. The factory produced household wares, most of the products going to overseas markets. Both brothers served as Fenton improvement commissioners in 1864, and James was chief bailiff 1870-72 and chairman of the Board of Health in 1825.
Eventually he became an alderman on Stafford county council, and served as chairman of the Staffordshire Potteries Water Board.
