- This system of remuneration allowed payment to the workers only when goods emerged perfect from the oven. The ware passed through many hands before firing, any one of whom might have caused some imperfection – but unless the piece was faultless no one was paid. The imperfect pieces were sold as seconds and the pottery owner kept the income. This system was open to abuse; it was abandoned by some of the better class firms such as Copeland and Minton in the 1870s but not finally abolished in 1964.
