Over the years, the Ardmore artists have focused on different styles of figurative sculpture including African travelers riding on exotic animals and story-telling figures inspired by Zulu myths and culture.

Ardmore ceramics enchant collectors and have been embraced by the international art world.

News of their success spread fast and many of Bonnie’s family and friends came to Ardmore to ask if they could learn how to paint ceramics. Since then Fée has trained more than a hundred local people to earn a living, throwing, modeling or painting ceramics, and encouraged them to evolve their own personal style. The sale of these wonderful pieces of ceramic art uplifts and supports the Ardmore community and their families. In 2010, Fée was honored in New York by Women’s Campaign International for

Ardmore's new collection of blue animals was inspired by the Faience hippos modeled by the ancient Egyptians c.1880BC. Hippos were a hazard to river boats on the Nile. Since they might be encountered on the journey to the afterlife symbolic models were placed in tombs.

A revival of Staffordshire figure making was led by the chief modeler Charles Noke, who became Art Director after the launch of the new figure collection in 1913. Some of the most stylish and collectible figurines were modeled by Leslie Harradine during the 1920s and 30s.

Henry Doulton acquired another factory in Burslem, Staffordshire in 1877 to make tableware and other practical pottery. A new bone china works was built in 1884 and artists were attracted from rival factories to decorate ornamental wares. The Burslem studio specialized in lavishly gilded vases, expensive tea wares, fish and game plates and dessert services. The most talented artists were lured from rival factories until Henry Doulton had built up an art studio in Burslem, which

BIRDS & BUTTERFLIES Mark Marshall was trained as a stone mason, carving ornament for neo-Gothic churches. Before joining Doulton’s Lambeth studio, he worked for the Martin Brothers, art potters who specialized in eccentric designs, including their famous bird jars. These early experiences shaped Marshall’s taste for weird and wonderful Doulton designs, such as the owl jar and the oil lamp.

The name Titanian is derived from Titanium oxide which was used to create the ethereal blue and green grounds, ideal for the painting of birds in the trees and misty landscapes. The egg-shell thin bone china body is wonderfully translucent and was said to ‘make a painter on canvas sigh with envy’. Charles Noke spent many years perfecting Titanian ware, which

He proved to be an exceptional student and was awarded a scholarship to study sculpture at the Royal College of Art in London.

THE FLORAL ARTS Deep cobalt flow blue decoration on a white ground was very popular in the late 19th century and the Burslem studio produced several different styles. Corolian ware from the 1890s features flow blue flowers and figurative designs by artists such as Percy Curnock, Walter Nunn and Wilmot Brown. Flow blue was similar to traditional blue and white pottery except that the blue color was deliberately blurred, an effect achieved by adding a cup of lime or ammonia to the kiln during firing.

The roaring twenties was the age of flappers and vamps who inspired stylish statuettes in different media. Leslie Harradine modeled the new fashions in vogue for Royal Doulton’s HN collection. Nudes and diaphanously draped sirens were fashionable for a few years as can be seen in Harradine’s Art Deco designs. However, the bathers soon acquired swimsuits and wraps reflecting the mature elegance of the 1930s.

ART NOUVEAU & ART DECO During the Art Deco era, America reached for the skies with towering steel-framed structures. The Chrysler building in New York was quickly surpassed by the Empire State building as the world’s tallest in 1931. Moorcroft’s Coming to America vase depicts the iconic New York skyline welcoming immigrants displaced from war-torn Europe. During the 1920s, New York became the world’s largest city and a quarter of its eight million residents were born abroad. The Statue of Liberty promises them a new life in America.

ART NOUVEAU & ART DECO Jack Point, the tragic clown from Gilbert and Sullivan’s Yeoman of the Guard, was a favorite subject of Charles J. Noke. Three different colorways were introduced in 1918 but only HN91 was found in time for illustration in the classic reference book Royal Doulton Figures. Now two different versions of HN99 have come to light. One version is significantly taller than the other and they are painted in different colors. The smaller one is dated 1920 and the taller one has a date code for 1939. According to the Doulton records, the first version of Jack Point HN 99 had been withdrawn by 1938 so it appears that Noke re-introduced the figure shortly before he died.
