A painter intending to decorate a piece of porcelain or earthenware is faced with a difficult task: to harmonious fit the image into a small area of irregular shape that is moreover either concave or convex. The painting will almost never be viewed from one preferred, fixed angle. On the contrary, the image should produce a striking and integral impression even when the item is picked up, and not simply viewed from different sides - when sauce is being poured from it, for example. Artistic taste and practice helped the modellers and painters of Wedgwood's firm to created articles of applied art that met the high standards of the day. |
