About MeBorn in London in 1888, Scottie Wilson became a self-taught artist in Canada. He returned to London in 1945 and in the 1960s was commissioned by Royal Worcester to design a set of dinnerware. These designs included patterns derived from native American totem poles and the modern designs were not popular with the buying public and so production ceased in 1965. Wilson died in 1972.
