Tudric
Art Nouveau pewter ware designed for Liberty of London
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tudric is a brand name for pewterware made by W. H. Haseler's of Birmingham for Liberty & Co. of London. In 1899 Liberty began to produce the Cymric gold and silver ranges of domestic ware and jewellery inset with semi-precious stones.[1][2] From 1903 Haseler's began producing Tudric pewter ware for Liberty's and continued to the 1930s though the arrangement between Liberty's and Haseler's ended in 1926.[3][4] Tudric ware included teapots, caddies, jugs, tankards, dishes, photo frames, candlesticks, napkin rings, powder boxes and vases among other things.[1][5] The designs use Art Nouveau and Celtic Revival styles.
Designers included Archibald Knox, A.H. Jones, Bernard Cuzner, Arthur Gaskin, David Veasey, Reginald (Rex) Silver, Jessie M. King and Oliver Baker.[2][3][5][4]
Tudric pewter differentiated from other pewters with better quality, it had higher content of silver.[citation needed] Pewter is traditionally known as "the poor man's silver".[6]
