About the Item

Early 20th century hand painted terracotta plaque from the Longpark pottery in Torquay, England painted by W Hayworth. The painting is signed bottom right and the plaque carries an incised stamp mark for the pottery to the reverse. The plaque is pierced to the rear for hanging if required. A charming composition of a collection of summer flowers in a wicker basket painted on a terracotta roundel. LONGPARK POTTERY In 1883 the Longpark Pottery Terra Cotta China Works started in what earlier had been Brunel’s Atmospheric Railway at Newton Road, Torquay. The owners Messrs Critchlow, Ridley and Taylor, produced mainly terracotta items and very quickly dropped the incorrect use of the word ‘China’ from their impressed mark. Around 1903 a group of Aller Vale potters took over, producing decorative glazed pottery similar to that of Aller Vale with the business later being recorded as the Longpark Pottery Co. Ltd. Notable decorators who worked at Longpark were Charles Collard and James Main (1903-05) and later William (Bill) Howard who was best known for the scroll and Kingfisher decorations during his many years there. Around the time of the First World War the pottery produced some fine North Devon style of vases with applied dragons, some with two or three twisted handles, also other grotesque animal forms were made. Still others made of white clay had panels showing birds over a stippled background. There is a pottery style known as ‘Royal Longpark’ that has simple motifs under a lustrous deep green glaze, also to be found is a quaint range of sombre ‘Rustic’ pottery made with applied flowers thought to have been an employee who was given a free hand with his own designs.
