These earthenware pots all date from the
mid 1920’s to the mid 1930’s. They’re
all hand thrown and hand decorated in Art Deco patterns designed mainly by Truda
Adams (Truda Carter). The process of decoration as far as
I know was this: After been fired, the bisque pottery would be covered in a
white "Delft" tin glaze and, on this chalky ground, the pattern
was painted in soluble colours (in-glaze), before been returned to the kiln
for the second (glost) firing. It's this in-glaze decoration which gives the pots a soft, almost
blotting paper, appearance. It's a process that would have left no
room for errors and really makes you appreciate the skill of the
decorators.
