Personal favourite

Colour test pieces by Josiah Wedgwood and the Portland Vase in the background.
This image didn't get published but it's a favourite of mine.


Wedgwood

Made in England. A stamp goes on the back of pots and plates.
It must be most pleasurable of all stamping actions in the world,
to make an indent on soft clay like this.

 


Only potter knows. A tin probably being used for ages for keeping the stamp. It's a cough medicine
container and I noticed a manufacturer is called Potter & Clarke LTD.
