These beautiful special pottery pieces were made by Moira Forsyth (with guidance from her father) no doubt looking at the Pilkington's influence. Moira gained multiple orders for her pottery however the 1926 general strike meant that she was unable to complete the orders and so closed the pottery.
Moira Forsyth (1905-1991) is daughter of Gordon Mitchel Forsyth famous artist and head of design at Pilkington's and later super intendent of Stoke on Trent Art Schools. After the failure of the pottery she focused her talents onto stained glass and churches, perhaps crafting her skill at St Josephs church in Burslem during its construction by the congrgation with help and guidance from Gordon Forsyth who held stained glass classes at the Wedgwood Institute on Saturday mornings for the locals. She is now famous for her 20th century stained glass commissions for multiple cathedrals including Norwich and her pottery is included in V&A collection.
