Item details
I love the shapes of the historic bottle ovens in Stoke-on-Trent, the major hub of the UK pottery industry during the 19th and 20th centuries. These ovens were phased out when the Clean Air Act was brought in, and most were demolished, but over 40 still remain around the city, and I find them a fascinating subject for my work as each is a slightly different shape, and in different states of repair and surroundings. These two were originally part of a massive Johnson Brothers factory producing sanitary ware, which later became Trent Bathrooms. They were preserved when the factory was demolished, and are now the centrepiece of a new housing development.

Full description
A three-stage reduction linocut of Johnson's Sanitary Works' remaining two bottle ovens in Stoke-on-Trent. It is printed in two colourways on white Japanese Ho-Sho paper paper, using Caligo Safewash relief ink. The image is 10cm x 15cm, (roughly A6) and the paper is approximately A4. Each print is hand-inked and hand-printed, so each is slightly different giving them each a unique quality. As this is a reduction print, the lino plate is gradually cut away during the process so that no more prints can be made. Please choose which colourway you would like from the drop-down menu.
Designed by Mary Parker in Stoke-on-Trent
