About MeEarthenware pin tray with black transfer print design of exotic swans on a terra cotta glaze. Wilson was an untrained artist who worked in a magical and primitive style. He picked up cheap glazed seconds at local markets to decorate with enamel colours. Royal Worcester commissioned him to create a design which was produced in two colour-ways.
