About MeThe Ruskin Pottery was established around 1904 in Smethwick, Birmingham, by William Howson Taylor within his father's tile factory which had been in operation since 1898. The name of the pottery reflected the contemporary interest in John Ruskin and the arts and crafts movement. Simple shapes for decorative wares inspired by Chinese wares enhanced the effects of Howson's interest in transmutation glazes. The glazes and colours were lead free and the decoration was all hand painted. The method of firing caused the unique and random glaze effects. This cup and saucer are examples of plainer teawares made by the pottery. Production ceased in 1933, with the factory finally closing in 1935.
