Wilson learned his trade working in his father’s china works while studying at North Staffordshire technical College, where he won a silver medal and, later, lectured. He joined Wedgwood as Works Manager in 1927, and became joint Managing Director a few years before his retirement in 1963. His main contribution was in the technical modernisation of the factory, but he also created decorative glazes (including the matt glazes used by Keith Murray and John Skeaping), contributed to the design of successful tableware series and created his own of ‘Unique Wares’ which explore forms and experimental glazes, sometimes using several glazes on a single pot. This vase revisits Josiah Wedgwood’s introduction of classical vase forms and ‘porphyry’ or ‘pebble’ glazes, in the 1770s. Alongside variegated wares produced by mixing clays or trailing or painting coloured slips, natural stone was imitated by sprinkling powdered oxides onto the biscuit ware or, perhaps, onglaze. By 1772 Wedgwood claimed ‘upwards of 100 good forms’ of such vases. Most of these early examples were gilded and produced in pairs with matching plinths. reference term-120080 adlib-term-120080 d30af182-08cf-3646-84b8-1649593b6f21 20th Century, third quarter 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 literal Staffordshire Staffordshire region Barlaston reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 17.7 Width cm 13.6 reference term-89480 adlib-term-89480 f1ea518e-351c-3f42-b2a7-db0f8559fa2c vase object name history note Unknown before Sir Ivor and Lady Batchelor, St Andrew's, Fife.
