EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Minton China Works in Stoke On Trent during the year 1946. The image showcases a group of skilled workers diligently setting plates into "saggars" filled with alumina, an essential step in the pottery-making process. Each worker is clad in aprons, their hands carefully placing each delicate plate with precision. The saggars, once filled, are then sealed tight before being placed into the oven for firing. This crucial stage ensures that these beautiful ceramic pieces will emerge from the kiln as durable and stunning works of art. The atmosphere within this workshop is one of focused concentration mixed with a sense of camaraderie among craftsmen who have honed their skills over years of practice. Photographer George Greenwell has expertly captured not only the technical aspects involved in creating fine china but also the dedication and passion exuded by these hardworking individuals. Their commitment to their craft shines through as they work tirelessly to produce exquisite pottery that will be cherished for generations to come. This photograph serves as a timeless reminder of an era when handmade craftsmanship was highly valued and celebrated. It transports us back to a time where attention to detail and skillful execution were paramount in creating objects that would grace dining tables around the world.
