The play was published as Clay and Porcelain: A Drama of the Present Day (Melbourne, 1875); it was produced by Alfred Dampier in London in 1881.[6][7]
Hopkins dedicated the play to Dampier, saying "Of one thing I am positive The character of John Gladstone Smith in your hands will be safe to exhibit the many intended traits of a Mephistophelian Iago, which, no matter how much society may pretend to ignore, exists in various forms throughout the world."[8]
