Description: | The Linthorpe pottery was founded by John Harrison near Middlesbrough in 1879. Many of their designs were inspired by Japanese and pre-Columbian Peruvian pottery. They experimented to make unusual shaped objects, decorated with strong, vibrant glazes. This dish may have been made by Rachel Smith, as it bears the initials 'RS'. It has a wide, fluted or wavy edge, and the cover sits inside rather than on top of it. The rich brown glaze is highlighted with enamelled decoration of daisy-like flowers and grasses in white and yellow. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement art designers plants makers ceramics date period natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
