EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken on April 23, 1913, offers a rare glimpse into the intricate world of modelling and mould making at the height of the pottery industry in Stoke-on-Trent during the 1910s. The image, captured by Terry Parker, depicts a dedicated team of artisans at work in Alfred Meakin's studios. At the center of the scene, King George V and Queen Mary are seen engaging with the artists, their regal presence adding an air of prestige to the humble craft. The monarchs are surrounded by large windows, allowing natural light to flood the room and illuminate the meticulous process underway. The artisans are intently focused on their tasks, their hands deftly shaping and molding clay into intricate designs. The moulds, carefully crafted from plaster or other materials, are used to create the intricate patterns and shapes that would become the hallmark of Alfred Meakin's pottery. The team's concentration and dedication are evident, as they work tirelessly to bring each piece to life. The photograph provides a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, when craftsmanship and artistry were at the forefront of industry. The modelling and mould making process was a labor-intensive and highly skilled endeavor, requiring a deep understanding of both art and science. This image serves as a testament to the passion and creativity that drove the pottery industry in Stoke-on-Trent during the early 20th century.
