Description: | The Ruskin Pottery was founded in 1898 by William Howson Taylor at Smethwick, near Birmingham. 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 using a brilliant orange-red lustred glaze, which has a silky rather than a shiny surface. Before his retirement in 1935, Howson Taylor destroyed all his glaze recipes, materials and papers 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 |
