By1927 the market for lusterware was waning and demand shifting to simpler styles, and Ruskin introduced a range of new matt, semi-matt and crystalline glazes. The Pottery was able to sell these wares at lower prices, as they generally needed only two firings compared to the five often used for lustred pieces, and thus helped a move into the domestic market. On 29th July 1930, the Birmingham Gazette reported \u2018Mr Howson Taylor carried out no less than 1,500 experiments to obtain new and delicate shades of colouring [\u2026] each piece has a dominant note of broken colour, and these harmonise with home furnishings and costume\u2019."},{"value":"William Howson Taylor (1876-1935) came from a Staffordshire potting family and set up his pottery c.1898 with his father, Edward, a well known art educator and Principal of the Birmingham Municipal School of Art. Active supporters of the Arts & Crafts movement, the Taylors were friends of William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones and admirers of Ruskin. Wares were known as \u2018Ruskin Pottery\u2019 from c.1903 until 1933 (with the Ruskin family\u2019s agreement only from 1906), and first shown at the 1903 Arts & Crafts Exhibition.
