Rebecca Klarner
University of Leeds, School of Fine Arts, History of Art and Cultural Studies, Post Graduate Researcher
I am an art historian, specialised in European decorative arts, focussing on ceramics. I am interested in the making and disseminating of objects, the creation of meaning in different contexts, as well as the international transfer of knowledge, skills and ideas. My research considers the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
Assistant Curator at V&A Wedgwood Collection
I am currently undertaking a part-time PhD on 'The Question of Good Design - Wedgwood's Role in the Shaping of Taste in the 20th century (c. 1936-1986) as AHRC-funded Collaborative Doctoral Partnership between University of Leeds and the V&A Research Institute.

This book profiles the ceramic collections at The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery in 101 highlights. This has only been possible thanks to the generous support of The Headley Trust.
Considering the core of the collection is nearly 50,000 objects strong, this has not been an easy process. We could have filled many more volumes with the objects we considered, but we were unable to fit in. The highlights we compiled had to show the strengths of the collection but also demonstrate its range and depths. As can be expected, pottery from Staffordshire is well represented, making up over 60% of the entries. However, this sits within an international framework that represents over 4000 years of ceramic history. Around one in five of the objects featured were produced outside of the British Isles. Putting together this book has enabled us to see the collection in new and exciting ways, broadening our understanding and wonder of objects in our care.
