Director
Thomas Bott (1829-1870) was apprenticed at the Richardson glassworks near Stourbridge and began working for Kerr and Binns in 1853. Here he developed his speciality Limoges-style enamels. Bott frequently collaborated with Josiah Davis to add gilding to his special productions. A garniture of vases of Raphael shape decorated with portraits by Bott was shown in the 1867 Exhibition, see Henry Sandon, Royal Worcester Porcelain (1973), pl.58. Another Raphael vase in similar style is illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, Chamberlain-Worcester Porcelain (1992), p.171, fig.216.
