Richard Chaffers (1731 – 8 December 1765)[1][2] was a pottery manufacturer in Liverpool, England.

Life

Chaffers, son of a shipwright in Liverpool, started in business at Shaw's Brow in 1752. He produced blue and white porcelain, mainly for export to the American colonies.[1][2]

In 1755 Robert Podmore, a potter from the porcelain factory in Worcester, showed him and his business partner Philip Christian how to make porcelain using soapstone, discovered in Mullion Cove in Cornwall; Chaffers subsequently became a rival to Josiah Wedgwood.[1][2] Many pieces from the factory have transfer printing by John Sadler.[3]

Chaffers died in 1765, and was buried at the Church of Our Lady and Saint Nicholas, Liverpool.[1] Philip Christian continued the business until 1778, trading as Philip Christian & Co, and later as Philip Christian and Son.[2]
