Much of Powell/Bishop/Stonier's output was utilitarian as it was this that brought home the bacon. Unlike the Victorian factories of Mintons, Worcester, or even Doulton, as a company they were not known for any art pottery, extremely fine porcelain or smart designs (although there were a few). They did, however, produce some wonderfully rich transfer printed designs in a multitude of colourways - many of which were exported abroad. The fish and foul designs found particular success in the USA.
Thanks must go to the
Replacments website from which i "borrowed" these images to show you - do take a look at their website and drool - i know i keep going back and looking longingly at their stock. If you can't afford to buy, it is at least, an excellent resource for building your knowledge about patterns.
