He was a manufacturer of caustic and other tiles which were exported all over the world. Maw and Company also produced art pottery, employing well-known designers such as Walter Crane. Maw was an experienced plant-hunter and accompanied Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker on a plant-hunting exhibition to Morocco and the Atlas Mountains in 1871. He became an expert on the Crocus and illustrated his monograph - the result of ten years toil - with his own watercolours, of which John Ruskin wrote that they were "most exquisite... and quite beyond criticism".

Benson was admired in the arena of the Avant Garde in Europe and his work was sold through the influential Maison de L’Art Nouveau in Paris. The magazines The Studio, Art et Decoration and Dekorative Kunst all regularly featured his work. The Studio Magazine observed that WAS Benson’s lamps “may ultimately influence the taste of a greater number than the superb Morris-Burne Jones tapestries” whilst The Magazine of Art referred to his lamps as “palpitatingly modern”.Walter Crane in “The Bases of Design” marked W.A.S. Benson’s lamp with a finned copper shade as a good example of modern design. The Studio Yearbook of 1906 praised his experiments with reflectors, as in this example. Hermann Muthesius in his influential book “ Das Englische Haus” stated that WAS Benson was “the first to illuminate dining room tables with light reflected from a shiny metal surface, while keeping the actual source of illumination hidden”.

William Burton, previously a chemist with Josiah Wedgwood & Sons, was employed as manager and guided the company through its early years until 1915. He was joined by his brother Joseph, and together they developed the glazes for which the company became famous. The first large exhibition of Pilkington's Lancastrian Pottery was held at the Graves Gallery in London in 1904, and two years later the first of the lustre wares were shown at the Arts & Crafts Exhibition in London. The firm employed some of the leading designers of the day for these special wares, including Lewis F. Day, C.F.A. Voysey and Walter Crane, as well as designs from their own decorators, including Richard Joyce, Gordon Forsyth and William S. Mycock. The firm was awarded the Royal Warrant in 1913, after which the range was known as Pilkington’s Royal Lancastrian.
