This sauce dish is part of a collection of tableware inspired by Vietnamese culture and cuisine. Its accented indentations are both ergonomic and representative of the accents and textures present in Vietnamese food.

This pattern of yellow flowers and leaves is unknown to me and if anyone knows the name for this pattern, I'd be grateful to hear from you.

Outline history (including Biltons):
* Staffordshire Potteries Ltd grew out of the Keele Street Pottery Group and through the acquisition of smaller local pottery companies.
* By 1963, most of their operations were located on the 38 acre Meir site, formerly Meir Airport.
* 1972 Staffordshire Potteries Ltd assumed the KilnCraft name.
* 1979 Company bought by Royal Winton as a going concern, company's name remained unchanged.
* 1985 Company bought by the Coloroll Group of Manchester as well as Bilton tableware of Stoke-on-Trent. The company became the Ceramics Division of the Coloroll Group and the KilnCraft brandname was retained.
* 1990 The Coloroll Group went into receivership and there was a management buy-out of the Ceramic Division (Staffordshire Potteries Ltd/KilnCraft) to form a new company called Staffordshire Tableware Ltd (STL). STL included Biltons.
* 1994 Biltons sold amid a continuing decline in business for the company.
* 1999 A third of the Meir site was sold to Sainbsury for a new Homebase store.
* 2000 STL went into receivership when Bank of Scotland refused to extend its loan facility.
From 1972 through to 2000, the above companies made a major contribution to the British potteries industry. They were renowned for their ranges of mugs, tableware and dinnerware through the brandnames of KilnCraft, Biltons and Medici.

Observational Homework Assignment
Q2 2008
Graphite Pencil
12 x 18
Just an observational homework assignment from last year. The project was somewhat rushed, but I feel as the the spoon's reflection and the cups handle turned out very well.
The netted design on this vase gives it an aura of simplicity that underscores the workmanship that has gone into it. Lines of marble drive cross each other, creating hundreds of tiny, diamond shaped windows that give one a veiled peek into the body of the vase. The banded neck and subtly carved base mark the outer peripheries of this finely designed vase.
