Arts and Crafts pottery figurine Saint Michael
Compton Pottery
Circa 1910
Compton Pottery was started in 1899 in Compton Surrey by Mary Seaton Watts who studied at the Slade, wife of the renowned artist George Frederick Watts. Mary Watts was commissioned to construct a new chapel at Compton which she decorated with gesso symbolist figures and Celtic decoration. The chapel survives today as a shrine to her work. The pottery produced terracotta garden furniture to Archibald Knox’s designs for Liberty & Co, other artists that contributed designs were Gertrude Jekyll, Lincoln Holland and Ralph Lindsey. Some of the figurines are thought to of been influenced by Alfred Gilbert the eminent sculptor and great friend of G.F. Watts. The pottery kept closely to the ideals of the arts and crafts movement and employed local villagers as potters, whom were paid a 50% profit share in the business.
