Pilkington most always had a problem with glazes conforming to the lines this somewhat more erratic than typical perhaps one could say in accordance with art pottery principles.

• Dimensions: 6" x 6"

A popular design, so popular that it was copied by at least two manufacturers. The only recorded design that Pilkingtons bought from Rudd who is recorded as producing several for Godwin & Hewitt. One of Pilkington's most popular designs indeed I believe more so than any by the famous names, Day, Voysey, Crane etc indeed one wonders why comapnies used the design services of the famous names if not for any other reason that they were famous.

A good if not great design of the swirling nature with a major flowerhead at the centre and minor flowerheads at the corners. From a pure design point of view an obvious format and a few examples are know in majolica tiles but this stands above the others for simplicity of execution, flow of the line and accordance with modern taste.

From the collection of A J Cross author of the definitive work on Pilkington's Lancastrian Pottery.

Verso near perfectly clean, embossed P in opposing corners.
