RUSKIN 12cm HIGH FIRED GINGER JAR (No Lid) IN THE ORANGE LUSTRE GLAZE (Impressed Ruskin, England, 1920 marks to the base.) (Wear Around Top Where Lid Would Have Sitted).
(The Ruskin pottery was in operation from 1898 until 1935. Very little is known about pottery produced before 1901. Similarly, there is some doubt as to whether any pottery was made after 1933, by which time William Howson Taylor was terminally ill and had begun to wind down the pottery in preparation for its closure. This leaves a period of twenty-two years, which were interrupted by the First World War. Unlike many manufacturers, Ruskin’s strength in the export market meant that they were permitted to continue producing decorative wares during the war. Almost of all of these were exported, meaning that there is a dearth of pieces from this period in the United Kingdom. Taylor favoured shapes with a discernible Chinese influence, a style much in vogue in Britain in the early twentieth century. His primary focus was always on pushing the limits of what he could achieve with glazes.When the studio closed in 1935 the formulae for the glazes and all the pottery documentation were deliberately destroyed, so that the unique Ruskin products could never be replicated.)
