The outside text block shows some wear signs.; This book presents a comprehensive account of the history and development of an important Staffordshire pottery and the family with whom it was connected. Shelley Potteries were amalgamated into a larger group in 1966, but their activities up to that date are recorded here, including the period from 1872 to 1925 when they operated under the title Wileman & Co., using the trade name Foley. In many ways Shelleys were like every other pottery but they show a distinctive development, particularly as they were affected by, and in turn influenced, public taste. Their production included bone china, tableware, Harmony ware, commemorative and advertising ware, jelly moulds, domestic ware and Mabel Lucie Attwell nursery ware. Many of their products illustrate the styles of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, and later, after the Second World War, reflect a continuing balance between modern and traditional design. Above all, the potteries were a family concern, with the strengths and weaknesses of such an organization, typical of many family firms which have disappeared in recent decades. Yet Shelleys achieved prominence with a reputation for stylish, elegant, modern, high quality production that was the envy of many better-known potteries in North Staffordshire. Visitors to the recent exhibition of design in the '30s organized by the Arts Council and the Victoria & Albert Museum will have been impressed by several striking examples of their ware. Although so recent in the history of British ceramics, items of Shelley ware are much sought by a growing number of collectors, for whom this study will prove indispensable in providing the complete historical background, documents, marks and carefully selected illustrations.
