| 释义 |
The company flourished until the outbreak of World War I in 1914. To maintain the business during wartime, acidware and ceramic conductors were manufactured for the government. During this time, Arthur Gerald Shaw patented the gas-fired clayware kiln. In 1919, the Shaws Gas Kiln Company formed,[2] making and installing kilns in Great Britain, Europe and America. Apart from creating the standard belfast sink, Shaws also are involved in architectural terracotta - having created the Hackney Empire sign and working on the exterior terracotta structure of buildings such as Harrods in the UK and the Wrigley Building in Chicago, United States.
