Description: | The Ruskin Pottery was based at Smethwick, near Birmingham, and was founded in 1898 by William Howson Taylor. Influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement, they specialised in making decorative art pottery inspired by Chinese forms, using experimental coloured glaze effects for decoration. This bowl is decorated with mottled glazes in a range of colours, creating a simple and elegant design. The pottery officially closed in 1933, although production continued until 1935. Before his retirement, Howson Taylor destroyed all his recipes and notes to prevent inferior copies being made. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement art designers makers ceramics date period | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
