Blue and White: British Printed Ceramics at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London celebrates this distinctly British phenomenon, showcasing a wide variety of designs and decorations, from the 1750s to the present day. If you are a potter, artist, consumer or simply a fan of the V&A ceramics galleries, you’ll find this design exhibition London appealing.
This exhibition displays ceramic printing in blue at its best, with high quality, technical precision and aesthetically stunning decoration. There is historical interest too as the objects tell a story of industry and art in Britain through the ages.
Highlights include melting teapots by Livia Marin, a large ceramic garden seat from Spode, and a Wedgwood plate commemorating the coronation (which never happened) of Kind Edward VIII.
The V&A Museum plays host to loans from The Spode Museum Trust, The Wedgwood Museum, The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery, as well as private collections. We can think of no better place than amongst the Victoria and Albert Museum collection of decorative arts.
