Ltd. Established early in the century as a maker of earthenware teapots, George Clews & Co began making art pottery around 1913/14, aiming to produce ‘crystalline and opalescent glazes, rouge flambés etc’ on a commercial scale. ‘Chameleon Ware’, introduced c. 1920, became the pottery’s best known product and was made until c.1939. It includes shapes inspired by Egyptian and Persian pottery, echoing 1920s interest in archaeological discoveries. The shapes, made from a special white body, were hand-painted in green, brown and distinctive electric blue matt glazes; sometimes lustre was also used. Chameleon Ware was awarded a gold medal at the Philadelphia Exhibition in 1926. The three digit number probably refers to the colours used. The mark is similar to a rectangular 'Chameleon Ware' mark used from 1935. reference term-107318 adlib-term-107318 d27559f3-e90c-35cd-b7e4-46eaeb9ac521 20th Century reference term-110045 adlib-term-110045 8c30fae3-59fc-33dd-9f97-ccc44e63ae46 literal England England country Tunstall reference term-32652 adlib-term-32652 82d8ae3b-f165-395c-ba93-dfa1c282b7be glaze reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Diameter cm 11.5 Diameter in 4.5 Height cm 6.9 Height in 2.75 reference media-46424 adlib-media-46424 02a484ed-4225-3c20-96df-ed8fff2ea2c9 jpeg aa/aa3/C_7_1985_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583528898 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_7_1985_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583528898 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_7_1985_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583528898 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_7_1985_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583528898 1 image 0 media image reference media-46425 adlib-media-46425 dd0a620d-2ba9-39b6-94bb-c319b6bd6b95 jpeg aa/aa3/C_7_1985_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583486790 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_7_1985_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583486790 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_7_1985_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583486790 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_7_1985_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583486790 1 image 1 media image reference term-107667 adlib-term-107667 1b81c806-cfb7-3291-9803-525db5f75e09 bowl vase history note Unknown before testator reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Ref. information about George Clews & Co and Chameleon Ware. 60-61 reference publication-3367 adlib-publication-3367 d690c068-f9ae-39f7-b781-c471ea3065c7 Encyclopaedia of British Art Pottery 1870-1920 reference publication-7560 adlib-publication-7560 f1724c15-f193-3d73-ba54-f58812b792bd Chameleon Ware Art Pottery Ref. lists a similar mark in a rectangle, from 1935. 151 reference publication-2663 adlib-publication-2663 a2faf0b6-febd-3d16-82e0-6444a2dc48e7 Encyclopaedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks reference term-42688 adlib-term-42688 4df03958-5ee6-3a50-ada9-491bb6445fdf Art Pottery
