BURSLEM ART POTTERY
LUSCIAN LUSC WARE
In 1896, SSlater
and Noke launched a new
bone china cchina
bo body with matching glaze which
was wwas
named name Luscian ware. A soft painterly
effect
was achieved by the skilful
blend blending of various colors, which
sank
into the velvety glazy during a
succe succession of firings. Only the most
talente talented Burslem artists were able to
work in the Luscian technique, notably
the thhe
figurative figura painters George White and
Les Leslie slie Johnson Joh and the flower painters
David
Dews Dewsberry and Edward Raby.
