THE WOOD FAMILY OF BURSLEM A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF THOSE OF ITS MEMBERS WHO WERE SCULPTORS MODELLERS AND POTTERS BY FRANK FALKNER WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY WILLIAM BURTON M.A. LONDON CHAPMAN & HALL LIMITED 1912 COPYRIGHT ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PREFACE TZ THILE no doubt it must be conceded even by enthusiasts that VV the Productions described and illustrated in the following pages come into the category of the minor arts, nevertheless as a chapter in the develoJ,ment of the Portrayal of the human figure the results acliieved by the potters of Staffordshire are by no means to be altogether ignored. No writer upon the subject of English Earthenware, Busts and Statuettes can justifiably deny his tribute of praise to the craftsmanship of John Dwight of Fulham,· the important Position accorded to his work by the authorities of the British Museum and by those of the Victoria and Albert Museum show at once a just apprecia­ ti<m of this great seventeenth century sculptor-Potter, and Sir Arthur Church has not considered unworthy of his research the field of Dwight's labours, a field in which he has been rewarded by further important finds since he Published his monograph upon the subject. That the Ralph Woods should have pursued this Particularly attractive branch of A rt is not surprising, though most sincere collectors of their Productions would frankly admit that, while the originality of their .figures is delightful, the satisfactory effect of their work is indebted in a large measure to the re.fined scheme of d~cora­ tion they adoJ,ted in the aPPlication of their fascinating coloured glazes. That the mantle of the modeller and sculptor should have descended upon Enoch Wood was only natural, and although greater achieve­ ments have been attained by those whose designs and thoughts have been chiselled in marble or moulded in bronze, few men have been able to afford Pleasure to a wider circle of patrons than he whose genius expressed itself in the forms of Staffordshire Pottery. His statuettes and busts have been and will be found amongst our household gods for generations. His memory as a local historian and antiquarian is still green, and Burslem, his native town, was keenly alive to the merits of her son when she universally accorded him the affectionate title of '' The Father of the Potteries. " To certain branches of the early earthenware of Staffordshire the term ''Peasant Pottery ,, has been aPPlied and more Particularly to B vii PREFACE the so-called u SliP " Dishes and Posset Pots and to the Statuettes and Groups. Recent research., however., has brought to the minds of some collectors the conviction that sufficient credit has not been accorded to the designers and decorators of these Productions. It is Possible that an examination of the wonderful collection of fine ''Slip" Dishes recently displayed at the Whitworth Institute in Manchester may have led to the conclusion that the invention and decorative ability displayed by these seventeenth and eighteenth century potters must have been devoted to patrons above the station of peasants. In all Probability the master Potters in many instances manu­ factured the dishes not for use, but as tributes to the landowners from whose clay these decorative objects were made., and considering the means at their disJ; ..-,sal for carrying out their designs., the effects achieved were of much distinction and of no little artistic merit­ indeed they were the unconscious exponents of a powerful impressionist school. The Potters of the early eighteenth century assuredly did not design statuettes from the classics for the cottagers., and although it is well known that many objects were made for these worthy folk, a higher Purpose must have been intended for a large Portion of their Productions. That the native genius and artistic faculties of those men whose work is referred to in this book should receive a due meed of Praise has been the chief object of my efforts. In the course of this work which has Pleasantly occupied my leisure hours during many years,, I have been indebted to the following friends for valuable help and encouragement-Sir Arthur Church., K.C. V.O.; Mr. William Burton., M.A.; Dr. Sidebotham of Bowdon; the late Mr. John Baddeley Wood of Henley Hall, Ludlow; Mr. Arthur H. E. Wood of Browhead., Windermere; Captain R. B. Wood.,· Mr. J. .M.

Mullen, M.A.,· Mr. Charles Falkner; Mr. George F. Falkner; and to the authorities of the British and the Victoria and Albert Museums.
