The Keeper of All the Secrets

A ceramic sugar bowl and milk jug are set against a soft grey background. The items are mainly white with gold rims at the top and bottom, handles, and a thin line of emerald-green paint next to the gold. The pointed finial on the lid on the sugar bowl is gold with a ring of green at its base. There is printed imagery on each piece in muted tones. On the bowl, a lady in a purple empire-line dress and matching hat is surrounded by shoots and tendrils of greenery and pink flowers. The jug has a figure in a long white dress with a blurred image of people, including one riding a horse. The figure is holding large leaves across their right shoulder, partly obscuring their face.

Marking UNESCO’s International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, V&A Wedgwood, in partnership with Culture&, are hosting Time, Space and Empire – a series of summer events, discussions and installations exploring Staffordshire’s histories of slavery and abolition.
