Description: | Moses J. Adams began to make 'Adamesk' art wares in 1904 at his pottery in Scotswood, Newcastle. Decorative wares continued to be produced by his son Alan H. Adams, who became director in 1921, and the firm later changed its name to Adamsez Ltd. Made from local fireclay, their art pottery was decorated with coloured leadless glazes developed by A.B. Searle. Designed by Alan H. Adams, this polar bear may have been part of a limited edition rather than a mass produced Adamesk run, and is marked with the number '4'. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals art designers made in the North East makers ceramics date period industry natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
