Earthenware

valuable materials and handwork on large models, and their patrons wanted dainty china figures as illustrated. In tandem with their range of earthenware figures, Doulton produced their figurines cast in translucent white, china-clay body. This in itself enhances the delicate appearance of their smaller scale. Conversely, the Vyse figure, cast from an earthenware clay body, is all the sturdier for it. Although the Doulton figures may appear to be more dynamic, they are because of the business of manufacture

champions Parr’s work. However, as much of Salaman’s argument has already been addressed in this book. The following paragraph gives an indication of Salaman’s opinion of Parr and his work: Among the numerous artists producing figures in glazed earthenware Harry Parr stands out a master craftsman, artistically accomplished, for not only are his figures exquisitely and subtly modelled, but they are modelled with the craft of the potter for the niceties of the mould– a vitally important factor, and

Nile Street, Burslem At the Doulton pottery in Burslem, the output of earthenware and china continued despite the imposition of restriction of materials. The Vyses, under discouraging conditions, endeavoured to keep their pottery functioning. The British people were advised by their government to carry on with their lives and their businesses, and for the time being, the business of the country continued much as before. 29 Harradine Biddy Penny Farthing During 1938, Harradine produced thirty new

The milkmaid is an oil on canvas of 45.5 x 41 cm by the famous Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. The maid is standing in a plain scullery-type room carefully pouring milk into an earthenware container sitting on a small table next to a still life arrangement of stale bread pieces and a full bread basket. From the way that the maid dresses up, I think The Milkmaid prescribes a woman in the middle class. The artist uses almost all implied lines. Taking the face of the milkmaid as a starting point,

From a set of moulds he could produce, some five or six precise replicas of the original model. Initially, from a single model, he proposed to make one hundred editions. As previously mentioned, the earthenware clay body from which Vyse produced the figures, when glaze-fired, appeared creamy flesh-coloured in

It has been treated with a white and polychrome slip, a surface treatment that suspends the vessel in water while the clay is in the leather-hard stage. Most likely the slip was used to change the color of the brown or red earthenware clay to white, and also to seal the earthenware's

ceramics were ornamented with, the shift to earthenware seems to carry over some of the tradition of painting, calligraphy and poetry. Although, this gallery has little on the transition itself and more on the well developed end result of the centuries of progression. Similar to the comparison of the Dings from each part of the Zhou dynasty there is apparent development but unlike the progression of the Ding there is no hint as to what the earthenware was before the Ming Dynasty. There are some other

eminent sculptors Sir George Frampton8 and Professor Francis Derwent Wood RA.9 This was indeed a coup for Parr, demonstrating the esteem of artists qualified to appreciate the merit of his work. Parr was inspired to create a version in decorated earthenware of The Infanta Margarita Teresa in a Blue Dress, the artist Diego Velázquez portrait of the daughter of King Philip IV of Spain (Fig 41).10 Parr took certain artistic liberties with the Velázquez composition, when recreating his figure, such as
