Victoria Art Pottery is considered to be one of Australia's first true Art Pottery firms. It commenced operations in Albion Street, Brunswick (Melbourne) in 1896; until 1912 under the inspirational guidance of Brothers Graham and William Ferry, as well as a collaboration with Richard Sturrock. English born, the Ferry Brothers learned their trade at the Linthorpe Pottery under the direction of the master designer Christopher Dresser whose influences can be strongly recognized in Victoria Art Pottery wares. Other influences and designs can be seen in both Burmantofts and Ault pottery. Although a successful firm in its day, the Ferry Brothers could not compete with the mass produced English wares that began to flood the market in the early 20th century. As a result Victoria Art Pottery pieces are scarce and highly desirable.
