It is said that he could throw a large pot and then make a lid to fit it exactly, using only his eye and hand. Some of his pots were huge, but some were tiny: in Salford Museum there are examples of his pots which are only an inch and a half high. Towards the end of his career he gave demonstrations of throwing in the window of the local china merchants. Radford stayed at Pilkington’s until he retired, in 1936, aged 76, and Pilkington’s ceased pottry production soon afterwards. According to some sources, the inscribed initials are typically found on his later pots. Pilkington’s Tile and Pottery Company, formed in 1891/92, was one of the largest producers of decorative tiles. Lancastrian Pottery was introduced in 1904, using simple classical shapes and decorated with innovative coloured glaze effects, such that no two pieces were identical. Pilkington’s gained a Royal Warrant in 1913, but tile manufacture dominated production after World War I. reference term-109008 adlib-term-109008 841b18bd-944d-3c9c-8d39-bdaabbcc28e1 20th Century, Early reference term-107749 adlib-term-107749 e089b122-3c61-3b88-a645-624a4a54e267 1930s reference term-108153 adlib-term-108153 6648a3ef-d234-3a26-b612-58174ef775e9 literal England England country Manchester black, mottled reference term-32652 adlib-term-32652 82d8ae3b-f165-395c-ba93-dfa1c282b7be glaze reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 18.7 Height in 7.375 Width cm 19.7 Width in 7.875 reference media-44061 adlib-media-44061 0c0d35f9-f081-36e5-8ac2-7abbff4b4a0d jpeg aa/aa3/C_42_1981_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926565510 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_42_1981_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926565510 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_42_1981_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926565510 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_42_1981_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926565510 1 image 0 media image reference media-44062 adlib-media-44062 ae1c8947-5985-3189-a633-aa17434933bc jpeg aa/aa3/C_42_1981_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926526413 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_42_1981_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926526413 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_42_1981_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926526413 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_42_1981_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926526413 1 image 1 media image reference media-44063 adlib-media-44063 7bc6c178-0135-31cf-a443-20603f912e6f jpeg aa/aa3/C_42_1981_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926687617 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_42_1981_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926687617 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_42_1981_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926687617 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_42_1981_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926687617 1 image 2 media image reference media-44064 adlib-media-44064 c5a6ee4f-e3b3-32a1-8ff3-cf0a5bef9981 jpeg aa/aa3/C_42_1981_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926701626 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_42_1981_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926701626 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_42_1981_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926701626 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_42_1981_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926701626 1 image 3 media image reference term-89480 adlib-term-89480 f1ea518e-351c-3f42-b2a7-db0f8559fa2c vase reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Cf. photograph of E T Radford at work, examples of marks used here, and informatiojn about his career with Pilkington’s.
