Knypersley (Emma Bossons) Blue-on Blue 3.5" Vase,©2003. "Emma's Knypersley was a twenty-first century rendition of the engobe pottery technique, with gentle shades of green added to the blue-on-blue features of an open landscape. Knypersley is an area of open countryside among the hills in which Emma spent her childhood. Once again she has proved herself to be an innovative designer. Her work is not a copy of William Moorcroft's original engobe work. Instead Emma moved on, and with Knypersley her memories of past days proved to be very much a springboard into the future. Collectors loved it." (Street, 2006, pp. 296, 321)
