It could be the Maling Pottery. If you Google Maling Pottery Byker you will get plenty of information.

You can see the pottery on the map at http://maps.nls.uk/view/101099387#zoom=4&lat=3478&lon=2310&layers=BT called the "B" Ford Pottery.

Do you know for certain that he worked in a pottery factory, and not just for a small business?

From bykerlives.com:

1859. Robert Maling relocates his pottery from Sunderland to Ford St, Byker.


A journeyman is someone who has completed an apprenticeship, but is not yet a Master.
