Jo Ledger with Peggy Davies
and Art and Industry
Peggy Davies was the only figurine modeler when Jo joined the
company and they worked very closely together for a number of years.
Jo would provide detailed drawings for Peggy to work from and
together they created a radical new look for figurines. Jo also gave a
new look to the Doulton animal collection with his sleek, stylized
Chatcull collection. He was fascinated with Doulton’s unique flambé
glaze and learned the process so that he could create several new
shapes and decorative effects in the late 1950s. Perhaps Jo’s greatest
design legacy was his Royal Crown Derby paperweight collection and
he jokingly claimed that it was because Margaret Thatcher was such a
fan that he was awarded the Order of the British Empire for services to
the British ceramic industry.
