Decorating Room, gilding the Bleu de Roi
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph capturing the intricate and meticulous process of gilding ceramic pieces at the Alfred Meakin factory in Stoke-on-Trent, England, in April 1913. The image offers a rare glimpse into the world of pottery production during the 1910s, showcasing the dedication and skill of the women workers who played a crucial role in the industry. In the photograph, we see a group of women seated around long tables, each intently focusing on their task. Their faces are serious, their expressions determined as they apply gold leaf to the intricately designed Bleu de Roi ceramics using delicate brushes. The room is filled with an air of quiet concentration, with the soft glow of natural light filtering in through the windows, casting a warm, golden hue over the scene. The Bleu de Roi, or "Royal Blue," was a popular decorative style at the time, characterized by its distinctive blue and gold designs. The gilding process was a labor-intensive and time-consuming task, requiring a high level of skill and precision. Each piece was carefully handled and decorated by hand, making it a true work of art. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the social history of the period, with the women dressed in their traditional factory uniforms, their hair neatly tied back. The scene is a testament to the important role that women played in the pottery industry during this time, and the vital contribution they made to the production of beautiful and intricately decorated ceramics that were highly sought after. Overall, "Decorating Room, gilding the Bleu de Roi" is a captivating photograph that offers a unique insight into the world of pottery production during the early 20th century, and the dedication and skill of the women who played a crucial role in creating these beautiful works of art.
