Figure 9 Sauceboat, Wedgwood, Burslem, England, 1953. Creamware. L. 9". This design, known as the Edme pattern, was created about 1906 and is still in production at Wedgwood. In an interview Thorley mentioned that he “helped design the Edme pattern,” and in a draft of a letter to David Buten ca. 1973 he wrote, “Edme Pattern: I remember the advent of this fine shape—Mr. Goodwin had me do a number of detail drawings for various purposes and for Mr. Austin to model from. I used to sit watching Mr. Austin at work on it.” |
