WEDGWOOD, M.P., C.C. Hon. Sec. of the William Salt Archaeological Society. LONDON SAMPSON LOW, MARSTON & CO. LTD. kon Si 710620 DEDICATED TO MY CONSTITUENTS, WHO DO THE WORK CONTENTS Chapter I. The Creation of the Potteries. II. A Peasant Industry. III. Elersand Art. IV. The Salt Glaze Potters. V. The Beginning of the Factory. VI. Wedgwood and Cream Colour. VII. The End of the Eighteenth Century. VIII. Spode and Blue Printing. IX. Methodism and the Capitalists. X. Steam Power and Strikes. XI. Minton Tiles and China. XII. Modern Men and Methods. vy PREFACE THIS account of the potting industry in North Staffordshire will be of interest chiefly to the people of North Stafford- shire. They and their fathers before them have grown up with, lived with, made and developed the English pottery trade. The pot-bank and the shard ruck are, to them, as familiar, and as full of old associations, as the cowshed to the countryman or the nets along the links to the fishing popula- tion. To them any history of the development of their industry will be welcome. But potting is such a specialized industry, so confined to and associated with North Stafford- shire, that it is possible to study very clearly in the case of this industry the cause of its localization, and its gradual change from a home to a factory business.

  • On the Threshold Paul Scott, New American Scenery. Liminal Entities
    On the Threshold Paul Scott, New American Scenery. Liminal entities are neither here nor there; they are betwixt and between the positions assigned by law, custom, convention, and ceremonial.1 In liminality people ‘play’ with the elements of the familiar and defamiliarize them.2 When he began to experiment with printing on ceramics Paul Scott soon found himself in liminal territory: his creative practice was becoming unclassifiable. ‘In those days’, he has said, ‘there was no-one around me who was doing anything remotely similar, but that’s a double-edged sword: it launches you into a no-man’s-land, because you’re not a painter or a fine art printmaker and you’re not a potter or a craftsperson ... In a way I enjoyed it immensely because I was doing things that people hadn’t seen before.’3 That was back in the 1970s. Nowadays Paul Scott is a leading international figure in the field of ceramics and print. He is known for his subversive manipulation of transfer-printed designs on factory-made tableware such as the Willow Pattern and Spode’s Italian. Take for example an early edition of plates: The Scott Collection, BNFL in Cumbrian Blue(s) (1996) (Fig. 1). The design is a refashioned version of Spode’s Italian; it would be indistinguishable from the mass-produced original, except that warning signs for radioactivity are incorporated into the border and the stylised central landscape has been replaced with a view of the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant, less than forty miles from his home in Cumbria, England.
