Designer: William Howson Taylor (d. 1935).. In 1898, William Howson Taylor's father, Edward Richard Taylor, the Principal at the Birmingham School of Art, founded The Ruskin Pottery, named after the artist John Ruskin whose teachings and philosophy Taylor so admired. William took over the pottery in 1912. The company experimented with glazes, producing results that were quite different from anything seen before. The recipes for the glazes were kept secret, and when William Howson Taylor died in 1935 the recipes went to the grave with him.Vase.The potter Ernest Chaplet was a master in experimental firing techniques, which he knew from Chinese and Japanese art. The copper-red colour on this vase, for example, called sang de boeuf (oxblood), comes from Chinese porcelain of the Kangxi period (1654-1772). Chaplet jealously guarded the techniques he developed, even going so far as to destroy his notebooks at the end of his life.Exhibits at the Shanghai Museum, Shanghai, China.Terracotta skyphos (deep drinking cup) ca. 350-325 B.C.
