Known professionally as David Linley, David is probably better known to the public as the Earl of Snowdon, the son of Princess Margaret and Anthony Armstrong-Jones (Lord Snowdon), and the cousin of King Charles lll.
David trained under John Makepeace on leaving school and, naturally talented, he established Linley Furniture in 1985, producing the highest quality furniture and bespoke installations for the high end luxury market. The business continues to trade nationally and internationally today. Whilst his HQ is in London, what is less well known is that his production workshop is on the outskirts of Whitby, North Yorkshire, now operated and owned by his long time associate and friend Mark Asplin Whiteley.

A wonderful Pilkington’s Royal Lancastrian Lustre Vase by William S Mycock, shape no.2582 of shouldered form painted with scrolling foliage in gold and orange lustre on a red lustre background. Marked to the base with impressed marks, painted artist ciper and date code.
No chips or hairline fractures, just some natural firing flaws noticeable in the background red lustre, on the lower half of the vase.
Established by the Pilkington family in 1892 adjacent to the canal at Clifford Junction, Manchester. Initially known for its tile output the business expanded rapidly under the management of William Burton, formerly a chemist at J. Wedgewood’s. An ardent follower of the Arts & Crafts principles he recruited a formidable team of the leading designers, potters and artists around him. Experimentation with complex glazes led to the introduction in 1906 of what has become their most famous and desirable range, the high end Lancastrian Lustre Ware, named after the county of Lancashire, production of which continued until 1938. The company was granted a Royal warrant by King George V in 1913 and their wares were hence known as Pilkington’s Royal Lancastrian pottery.
Today it’s a number of their skilled artists who developed an international reputation whose work is most highly prized. Most notable amongst them are Gordon Forsyth, Richard Joyce, William S Mycock, Charles Cundall and Gwladys Rodgers, each marking their work with their own distinctive initials.
