Figure 26  Jug, dated 1967. Whiteware. H. 3 1/4". (Courtesy, Clark Taggart Collection.) Probably decorated as a Christmas present and never sold or given, this small Thorley jug was in Thorley’s possession in 1986. The inscription, “xm/as/1967,” is written in Old English script, popular in the 1920s and 1930s but used by Thorley on many experimental pieces and also found in drawings among his papers.
