Flower Plant Pot Signed by Edward Radford Handpainted with Flowers and Grass
Flower Plant Pot Handpainted with the signature ‘E. Radford Burslem’ on the bottom.
Edward Thomas Radford, who came from a family of potters, established his own pottery business in Burslem, Staffordshire (England) between the 1920s–1940s. What made his pottery unique (certainly his early pieces), was that the pottery was all hand thrown, and he made vases, jugs and bowls in a range of floral and art deco designs all in a matte finish (not the highly glazed finish that is common).

In the 1920s Edward Thomas Radford was working for H J Wood Ltd in Burslem. Harry Wood marketed Radford’s work with the backstamp ‘E Radford, England, Hand painted’, and later set up an independent pottery in premises nearby known as Radford Handcraft Pottery. The company carried on until 1948 when Radford retired, but H J Wood continued making pots to his designs, and marked them with the ‘E Radford’ backstamp. Read more…
