Abstract

The Fulham Pottery is celebrated in the history of ceramics as the first pottery in England to perfect the large scale manufacture of salt-glazed stoneware and also for the artistic quality and innovation of its early wares. The fact that the Pottery remained in operation on the same site for over three centuries is also remarkable. By the early twentieth century only utilitarian stoneware was being manufactured but from the 1930s onwards a series of attempts were made to re-introduce the production of ‘art’ pottery to Fulham. This culminated in a successful collaboration with society florist Constance Spry to create a range of unique, avant garde, flower vases.
