Historical Context
Historical Context
Wadeheath was one of the Wade family’s Staffordshire pottery lines, producing decorative wares that sat between studio “art pottery” and high‑quality commercial production. Flaxman Ware** was marketed as hand made and often hand decorated, leaning into the interwar taste for:
- simplified, modern shapes (an Art Deco hallmark)
- nature motifs (birds, flowers) carried over from late Art Nouveau/Arts & Crafts
- decorative crackle glazes that gave pieces a softer, craft feel
