Description: | The Linthorpe pottery was founded near Middlesbrough in 1879, by a local landowner John Harrison. Using local clays, many of their designs were inspired by Japanese and pre-Columbian Peruvian pottery. They became known for producing wares of unusual shapes, decorated with strong, vibrant glazes which were often allowed to run and drip. In this extremely heavy vase, the brown glaze is overlaid with a streaky, marbled effect in green and white. The factory was only in production for 10 years, and closed in 1889. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement art makers ceramics date period | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
