Further details
The 'Tahiti' range featured a series of designs by John Butler and L Allen. The labour intensive mixture of underglaze 'Inspiration' style blue, 'Appliqué' enamels and gilt detail meant they had to be fired several times. They represented Wilkinson's most prestigious line of art pottery and were produced alongside 'Bizarre' from 1928 into the early Thirties
