Description: | John Harrison founded the Linthorpe pottery near Middlesbrough in 1879. The factory used local clays, with designs inspired by Japanese and pre-Columbian Peruvian pottery. They experimented, making wares of unusual shapes, decorated with strong, vibrant glazes. This unusual pepper pot is shaped like many of the vases Linthorpe produced, with a rounded body and a tall, flaring neck. The glaze is streaked and marbled, typical of the factory's style, and it is topped by a domed, pierced metal cover. | 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 |
