Title: Susie Cooper Wedding Ring Gravy Boat.
Manufactured By: A Susie Cooper Production Gravy Boat. Crown Works, Burslem England.
Height: 8cm
Diameter: 11cm.
Width: 16cm.
Info: Wedding Ring pattern with bands of colour - Number 648 stamp engraving on base. The stamp and pattern box were used as backstamps on items between 1932 and 1964.
Born in Burslem, Staffordshire, she was the youngest of seven children. From an early age she developed an interest in drawing, and began her art education by attending night classes at the Burslem School of Art. In 1922 she joined the ceramics firm A. E. Gray & Co. Ltd, partially as a means to gain entry to the Royal College of Art.
A. Edward Gray quickly discovered her talents as a painter and designer, and soon she was producing her hand-painted floral designs. In 1923 A. E. Gray launched the Gloria Lustre Range employing the technique of lustreware. In 1929, motivated by her desire to design ceramic shapes in addition to decors, she broke away with her brother-in-law Albert "Jack" Beeson to set up her own business, as Susie Cooper Potteries.
She worked for many other pottery firms over the next several decades, including Wedgwood when the company was acquired by Wedgwood in the 1960's, where manufacturing continued, resulting in some of the most popular Susie Cooper pottery designs, which are still beloved today.
Like the Potteries-based ceramic designers Clarice Cliff and Charlotte Rhead, her work has become highly sought after and valued by some pottery collectors.
Her work in the Art Deco style, with bold, geometric patterns and bright colours, is the most popular amongst collectors. Designs were painted freehand or applied by lithographed transfer. Wikipedia.
