| Potter, born in Staffordshire, C England, UK. He succeeded his father in the firm of Moore Brothers, where he traded with his brother until the sale of the business in 1905. He then set up his own business (1905–15), where he was joined by his son. As a chemist he was particularly interested in glazes, and his experiments led him to produce a series of rouge flambés, turquoise, sang-de-boeuf, crystalline, and aventurine glazes as well as fine lustres. He worked as a technical consultant with many British, European, and American companies. He was greatly concerned with health risks to pottery workers, and delivered an influential paper to the Ceramic Society in 1932 suggesting changes in production to minimize lung disease. |
