Wilkinson

5 inch bowl

AmbestoneWare was working on the 'Oriflamme' glaze effect around 1900 but the decoration was perfected 10 or 20 years later at Wilkinson

the most sought after Oriflame pieces are those with creatures added to the normal Oriflamme decor but are all these pieces seconds with the imperfections covered up?

here's what Clarice Cliff had to say

"In the early 1920's I had progressed as for as modelling in clay, keeping pattern and shape books up to date, very fine filigree gilding with a pen, tracing spiders webs, butterflies, etc., to hide small imperfections on expensive ware, at A. J. Wilkinson Limited, The Royal Staffordshire Pottery, Burslem. During this time I gained useful knowledge of the making and firing of pottery."
