Topic: Fenton, Staffordshire


  
  Dana Gioia Online - James Fenton
Fenton's family moved twice during his childhood, first to Yorkshire and later to Lichfield, Staffordshire, the town which would provide the sinister background for his poem "A Staffordshire Murderer." At the age of nine Fenton was sent to a musical preparatory school attached to the Durham cathedral, where he was a chorister.
Based on Fenton's observations in Berlin and Urbino, the poem is an oblique narrative describing a visit to a German cemetery aboard "the Widow's Shuttle," a special bus, to attend a memorial service for the war dead and the painful meditations this excursion elicits.
Fenton's disappointment, however, was undoubtedly softened by his receipt of the 1984 Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize on the eve of the election.

 Pottery & Porcelain (F) - Encylopedia Of Antiques
FENTON (Staffordshire): This is a large district where pottery has been made from very early times and in the 18th century there were several factories there.
In pottery, about the middle of the 18th century, English potters began to model figures of a higher artistic merit than the work of Astbury and Whieldon, and the figures of Ralph Wood, John Turner, Ralph Salt and many other of the Staffordshire (q.v.) potters are of marked interest for fine modeling and delicate coloring.
FLAMBE: The term is applied to pottery or porcelain which depends for its decorative effect upon the cloudy or shaded or splashed color of the glaze.

 UK Antique Marks and Backstamps Desc.
The impressed mark is the Staffordshire knot enclosing the initials WB.
Edward Challinor had been operating from the Fenton Pottery from 1853 as E.Challinor and Co. It is likely that these works were owned by the Coal master Charles Challinor with whom Edward joined in partnership in 1862 to produce a wider range of domestic wares expanding from earthenwares into ironstones.
The firm was then absorbed for a time in the Cauldon combine, but John Vivian Goddard subsequently bought it back and ever since it has remained under his direction, as Managing Director, to carry on the long tradition it has inherited, not only from the Ashworths but also from the Masons of Ironstone China fame.
