CARLTON WARE: In the 1920s and 1930s Carlton Ware was credited with creating the pottery Art Deco movement with their unique decal hand-painted finishes and high glaze substrate firing. The designer Enoch Bolton was responsible for the earlier popular art deco designs until he left Carltonware in 1929 and Violet Elmer then went on to continue some of Carlton Wares famous art deco designs.
CROWN DEVON: The designer Enoch Bolton joined Fielding & Co in 1929 and Boulton was responsible for the enormous output of striking Art Deco style wares from the Devon Pottery in the 1930s. The best of Boulton’s Art Deco and modernist designs rival and often exceed in impact those of Clarice Cliff and Susie Cooper
