An explosion of new ceramic design in the late 1920s & early 1930s introduced vibrant colours & dramatic angular shapes to the breakfast tables of Britain & the world. Never before or since has there been such diversity in British ceramics as hundreds of manufacturers produced exciting new designs that embodied their enthusiasm for the 'bright new' age & continental modernism. Displaying an angular tea-set or a dinner service enamelled in a brilliant geometric pattern became proof that the owner was participating in the 'modern way' of living. Bay windows from John O' Groats to Land's End proudly exhibited the brightly coloured designs & impractical but glamourous ceramics from manufacturers such as Shelley Wilkinson's Wade Heath & Myott.
