Description: An interesting Wilfrid Norton Sculptural Bowl, in gray glaze, with wave pattern and pinched handles.
Wilfred Norton(1880-1973) was born in Shropshire. He was apprenticed with the Coalport Company at the age of 13 and continued to work as one of their designers. He studied under Rudolph Steiner (Philosopher & teacher of the arts) in Switzerland.
He was based in Hampstead, London with his wife Lily and exhibited many times at the Royal College Of Art and The Royal Academy and had many exhibitions in Europe and America.
He is best known for the works produced in the 1920's and 30's but carried on until 1950 producing studio ceramics and other works including designs for stained glass.
His figurative works usually depicted classical, mythological or semi-religious subjects. All his pieces were one-off's and were often titled and monogrammed. Another characteristic of his work was the use of matt glazes in muted colours.
Monogram to base.
