Both the shape and the decoration were designed by Skellern, and it was also produced in plain black print and in gold print on black basalt versions. The shape has since been used for many other special editions. Wedgwood bicentenary mugs were also designed by others, including Peter Wall and Robert York Godden. Victor George Skellern (1909-66) joined Wedgwood at age 14, whilst continuing to study at Burslem and Hanley Schools of Art. In 1930 took a scholarship to the Royal College of Art, returning in 1934 as Wedgwood’s first professionally trained Art Director. He championed the use of lithograph (or ‘Decal’) decoration for Queen’s ware and china, fully introduced in 1947, and was influential in modernising Wedgwood’s designs, following the principle ‘decoration must be designed for the shape, and must add something relevant to it’. Skellern also led the recruitment of freelance designers, such as Eric Ravilious and Richard Guyatt (examples of whose work can also be found in the Fitzwilliam collection). reference term-109795 adlib-term-109795 8a394dfa-6091-3a16-97c3-fb85612c23b6 20th Century, Mid reference term-107700 adlib-term-107700 8f5360fb-b262-3ae9-8942-b81cc0e3e848 Elizabeth II reference term-114582 adlib-term-114582 511cfe35-cd51-335e-b2a9-7683f4b84bd1 literal England England country Barlaston reference term-37088 adlib-term-37088 0a28530e-cea8-3d08-b792-a30bf68f524f clear glaze reference term-42837 adlib-term-42837 60792d1e-3967-38d7-8310-ee3edeb8a4ce cream-coloured earthenware Diameter cm 9.2 Height cm 12 Width cm 13.4 reference media-11624 adlib-media-11624 50089d1f-6b11-3e14-877e-76a6397195cb jpeg aa/aa6/C_395_1991_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616253792841 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_395_1991_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616253792841 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_395_1991_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616253792841 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_395_1991_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616253792841 1 image 0 media image reference media-11625 adlib-media-11625 1ed04f79-7db2-3b7f-aa65-2de04cc69c7a jpeg aa/aa6/C_395_1991_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616244133473 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_395_1991_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616244133473 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_395_1991_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616244133473 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_395_1991_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616244133473 1 image 1 media image reference media-11626 adlib-media-11626 5b160056-212e-32f3-8bef-a07b05ab276b jpeg aa/aa6/C_395_1991_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616255908191 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_395_1991_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616255908191 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_395_1991_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616255908191 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_395_1991_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616255908191 1 image 2 media image reference term-91188 adlib-term-91188 40f320f4-04b6-3303-8129-f9e81e2b4671 mug history note unknown before donor reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Cf.
