The Ruskin Pottery was founded in 1898 by William Howson Taylor and his father in Smethwick nr Birmingham
and named after the writer and critic John Ruskin.
Their aim was to produce good quality pots, all pieces made on the potters wheel,
which would be beautiful in form and exquisitely glazed.
His high fired pieces became highly sought after winning awards at the international exhibitions
and appeared in many public and private collections around the world.
The pottery closed in 1933 two years before Howson Taylors death.
