Abstract In October 2017 an advertisement appeared on ebay for an old cast-iron “double-cone” throwing wheel, thought to have been used by the potter William Staite Murray (1881–1962). Murray was a leading figure of the British studio pottery movement from the 1920s until 1940, when he left London for east Africa. The wheel was bought by the writer and researcher Nigel Wood, who trained originally as a potter. Study of the wheel’s possible history has helped to illuminate Murray’s original working methods and shown the important role that a power-wheel had played in the creation of his remarkable stoneware vessels and bowls.

车轮的生活

摘要 2017 年 10 月，ebay 上出现了一则旧铸铁“双锥”投掷轮的广告，据信陶艺家威廉·斯泰特·默里（William Staite Murray，1881-1962 年）曾使用过。从 1920 年代到 1940 年，穆雷是英国工作室陶艺运动的领军人物，当时他离开伦敦前往东非。轮子是由作家兼研究员奈杰尔伍德买的，他最初是一名陶艺师。对轮子可能历史的研究有助于阐明 Murray 的原始工作方法，并展示了动力轮在他非凡的炻器器皿和碗的创作中发挥的重要作用。
