Gilder and crest-painter. First employed at Wedgwood during the early years of the 20th century. His skilful, exacting work is to be found on armorial wares – particularly on the White House Service ordered by Theodore Roosevelt. Herbert was joined in 1927 by his son, Frederick, illustrating how certain processes were passed on from generation to generation.
