Stephen Adams is an interesting maker, mainly because there are 2 of them!! Stephen Adams II, entered his first mark on 24th March 1792. For the purposes of ascribing work to one or other of the Stephen Adams's, I have taken the arbitrary approach that anything prior to 24th March 1792 is Stephen Adams I, after that, his son. As the two were working together from at least as early as 1784, if not before, it is certain that anything produced between 1784 and c1790 could have been produced by either of them.
