COBRIDGE STONEWARE (Black Ryden) 21.5cm BIRD VASE (Silverline )
(In January 2003 Moorcroft Pottery and sister company Cobridge Stoneware announced the launch of Black Ryden PLC. The Trade Minister Nigel Griffiths MP marked the event by cutting the tape on Stand G2 at the Birmingham International Fair on 3 February 2003 to launch Black Ryden's inaugural art pottery exhibition.
Black Ryden was the second new art pottery to emerge from the Moorcroft stable, the first having been Cobridge Stoneware in 1998. Original design work and shape prototypes for Black Ryden were first developed on earthenware bodies within Cobridge Stoneware. Experimentation and research married together two old techniques of surface decoration, the first being the art of sgraffito and the second being 'upbrush'. Upbrush is a means of applying powdered colour derived from metallic oxides mixed with water.
