Fry believed that single colour glazes were the perfect foil for food, writing ‘the plates are obviously waiting for salad – vivid green lettuce, shy radishes, and magenta beetroots! Fruit would be a Futurist feast in those black bowls’. Though the Omega Workshops had the ambition for production, their ceramics were only realised in small numbers.
