He was the first person to invent the black shiny glaze. His Lustres are very much sought after, and his glazes (especially the peacock feather One)is exceptional and has never been repeated. The dept was closed not because the pottery wasnt popular but because my dad knew he wouldn't live long if he stayed there, due to the filthy conditions and the dust. He went back into teaching.

I have one query regarding Walter Crane. On pottery what was his mark? I have a plate back stamped with a crane surrounded by a snake. It has all the appearances of Walter but I am not sure. Thank you. Margaret Your website is brilliant. I have one query regarding Walter Crane. On pottery what was his mark? I have a plate back stamped with a crane surrounded by a snake.
