"Modern Bristol"

 
‘ Modern Bristol’ is a term used by the Pountney factory to describe a range of dinner and tea ware produced in the 1930’s and designed by J.F (Jack) Price.

Price had been the art director at the Royal Cauldon Factory and when he came to Bristol as consultant designer in 1933 brought a new exciting vision to the design repertoire of the pottery. The two principal ranges were called DORLAND (named after the Dorland Hall Exhibition) a very Art Deco Design of cylinders and hemispheres on three feet and ACADEMY (after The Royal Academy Exhibition which was held in Burlington House in 1935) also cylindrical but without feet and really more of ‘Retro ‘ style reminiscent of the50’s and early 60’s. The third MODERN BRISTOL shape was called BURLINGTON.

These ranges were produced in many different decorative styles and DORLAND in particular offers rich pickings for the Art deco china collector.
