Making Tea Cups by Machinery
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by Terry Parker in April 1913, showcasing the intriguing process of creating tea cups at the Alfred Meakin pottery factory in Stoke-on-Trent, England. The image offers a unique glimpse into the industrial revolution of the 1910s, where traditional craftsmanship began to merge with advanced machinery. In the photograph, rows of tea cups sit on windowsills and shelves, waiting to be filled with the steaming hot beverage they were designed for. The background is filled with the hum of machinery, as metal arms and conveyor belts work in harmony to shape and mold the porcelain cups. The delicate balance between the human touch and the mechanical process is evident, as workers carefully monitor the machines, ensuring each cup is crafted to perfection. The visit of King George and Queen Mary to the Alfred Meakin factory on April 23, 1913, added an air of royal approval to the innovative production methods. The presence of the monarchy highlighted the significance of the pottery industry in the region and the importance of continued progress in manufacturing techniques. The photograph captures the essence of the era, with its blend of tradition and modernization, hard work and industry, and the enduring appeal of a simple cup of tea. This image invites us to reflect on the rich history of ceramics and the role it continues to play in our daily lives.
