Title: Rye Pottery Trug

Reference: 01058

Description: A large Trug from Rye Pottery, showing great attention to detail. Pottery has been produced in Rye since mediaeval times, but what is now known as Rye Pottery was started at Cadborough near the end of the eighteenth century. Cadborough established the ?Hopware? design that is now recognized as traditional for Rye Pottery. In the second half of the nineteenth century the Bellevue Pottery opened in Rye, and by 1890 the Cadborough Pottery was swallowed by the thriving Bellvue Pottery. Bellvue was run by Frederick Mitchell until his death in 1875 and by his wife, Caroline, until Frederick Thomas Mitchell, their newphew, took over in the last decade of the nineteenth century. Incised mark to base.

Title: Ruskin Vase

Reference: 00326

Description: A delightful green glazed Ruskin Vase. The Ruskin Pottery was founded in 1898 in Smethwick, Birmingham. The founder, Edward Richard Taylor, named his pottery after John Ruskin, the Victorian writer and art critic. In 1912, Taylor's son, William Howson Taylor, took over the running of the Ruskin Pottery. The company experimented with glazes, producing results that were quite different from anything seen before. The recipes for the glazes were kept secret, and when the pottery closed in 1933 William Howson Taylor made sure all records of glaze recipes were destroyed so that they would never be reproduced. Although small in scale, Ruskin Pottery was one of the leading exponents of British art pottery in the early twentieth century. Impressed Mark. C.1933
