Notes

Globe Potteries were situated in Pretoria and operated from 1920 to 1957. The owners Albert and Joseph Walker lived in England and the business was run by local managers. Well-known artists including Douglas Portway and Esias Bosch collaborated on design. The potteries produced a range of domestic-ware such as jugs, mugs, cups and saucers, jars, condiment sets, teapots, and the like, as well as vases, bowls, baskets and troughs. The items were hand-thrown and glazing was restrained but with interesting, mottled effects.

Globe operated successfully for a long period of time despite not having a strong marketing engine behind it and never participating in exhibitions or commercial fairs. In the end the organization was hampered by a lack of product innovation and inattention to its down-draft kilns. Globe production items most often have the name of the studio impressed on the underside.
