Description:Pottery factory interior with a view of women aerographing.
They are using pneumatic airbrushes.
Possibly taken at the Gladstone China, Uttoxeter Road, Stoke-on-Trent.
Aerography was the mechanical spraying of glaze onto pots.
It also helped enormously in two aspects of decorating:
Ground laying — the application of sold areas of flat colour which was a skilled and time consuming art.
Shaded effects - previously either brushed or blown onto the ware with a mouth blown diffuser.
Taken from the Gladstone Pottery Museum Photographic Collection.
