Susie Cooper Art Deco Pottery - Patterns Marks Dates / Oversize Illustrated Book

Description

SUSIE COOPER: AN ELEGANT AFFAIR
by Bryn Youds, Thames and Hudson, Ltd., London, 1996.
Beautifully illustrated in superb color and black-and-white, this early out-of-print book provides an in-depth pictorial survey of  the art pottery of Susie Cooper including information on marks and dating.
This comprehensive text contains a biography of Susie Cooper and follows her work through various periods of her creative production.   Appendices list patterns, show shapes, illustrate back stamps and provide a glossary which includes Cooper’s key decorative techniques.  Although Susie Cooper passed away before this book found completion, she “dearly hoped that it would show people how her work had evolved but, above all, that it would inspire students of design to experiment and to follow their personal ambitions.”  The result appears to hold great promise of achieving those goals.  Here is an essential volume for collectors of Susie Cooper ceramics or British art pottery in general.
Oversized 10.5“ x 14.5“ softback in very good condition.  80 pages.
