In the quaint village of Linkinhorne, Cornwall, Browda House stood proudly in 1964, its windows adorned with exquisite pink glazing. The vibrant hue added a touch of whimsy to the traditional architecture, making it a standout feature in the area. Meanwhile, at Hotel Curzon in London's Winter Gardens, guests were treated to an elegant sight - brass portholes boasting their original glazing. These small details added a sense of nostalgia and authenticity to the hotel's maritime-themed decor. Not far away from London, Alfred Meakin diligently painted bands before applying glaze onto his masterpieces. His meticulous attention to detail ensured that each piece was transformed into a work of art through this final step. The process continued at Alfred Meakin's workshop where white tiles were glazed by machinery. This innovative technique allowed for mass production while maintaining impeccable quality standards. The gleaming tiles would soon find their way into homes and buildings across the country. Back in Cornwall, cricket enthusiasts gathered at Geoffrey Hughes Memorial Grounds to enjoy their favorite sport under clear skies and sunshine filtering through glazed canopies above them. It provided both shelter and an uninterrupted view of the game - a perfect combination for any spectator. Away from sports fields and pottery workshops, another photograph captured progressive stages in an important industry - pottery manufacturing. In black-and-white imagery reminiscent of yesteryears' craftsmanship, we witness skilled artisans meticulously applying layers upon layers of glaze on delicate pieces that would eventually grace dining tables around the world. From Browda House's charming pink glazing to Hotel Curzon's timeless brass portholes; from Alfred Meakin's careful brushstrokes before glazing tiles by machinery; from cricket matches enjoyed beneath glazed canopies to pottery makers perfecting their craft one layer at a time - these glimpses into different aspects of "glazing" showcase its versatility as both an artistic expression and practical necessity throughout history.
