Blue Regal Peacock Modeller's Decoration, Gift Boxed

In our archives sit sketches attributed to Charles Wilkes who was responsible for new shape design at Burgess and Leigh. He started in the design studio at Burgess & Leigh in 1889 and worked with us until he retired in 1943. He was a highly skilled modeller and prolific shape designer, producing hundreds of beautiful sketches all conveying an almost poetic knowledge of form. We have drawn on these elements of form to produce a new decoration that honours all the modellers who worked to make Burleigh ware so special.
