Ruskin Pottery was named after the writer and art critic, John Ruskin, whose ideas about quality and beauty were in tune with the pottery’s stated aim: ‘good potting, beauty in form and rich or tender colourings’. It was founded in West Smethwick, near Birmingham, by Edward Taylor and his son, William Howson Taylor in 1898. It took £10,000 and three years of experimentation before the first pieces were available for sale. As the quality of the work was so high, it became extremely popular, despite very high prices.
