- The Benthall Pottery Company produced a late range of what can be loosely termed "art pottery" in the early 1930s, though some of the pieces are clearly intended for everyday use.
- Some pieces appear to display Art Deco characteristics in their use of symmetry and geometrical design, though this is certainly open to debate.
- The 1930s catalogue shows the range of pieces available, many of which are shown in the image gallery below.
- Shape numbers in the catalogue can be matched to actual pieces, which have the numbers incised on their bases.
- Some pieces have an incised shape number, but are not included in the 1930s catalogue.
- Marks can be either a simple impressed SALOPIAN mark, a black-printed “diamond” mark, or a combination of the two.
