It is hand-signed "Susie Cooper" on the back (photo 9; the glaze is thick and difficult to see in the photo, but it can be clearly seen with the naked eye). This work was created by British potter (designer) Susie Cooper when she was young (1930, age 28). The backstamp is a handwritten signature, so it is a work that makes you feel the youthful energy of Susie immediately after she became independent from Gray's Pottery (1929). It was made around 1930, and the number of works is limited. There are several types of designs carved in the "carved" works, including flowers such as tulips, and animals such as foxes and squirrels. The work introduced here is a white ivory water jug with Susie Cooper's trademark "Leaping Deer," which was also used as a vase. In Susie's commentary book "A Life with Susie Cooper" (written by Kyoko Iizuka), a different color version of this work (same shape and design) is introduced (photo 10). ❇️Size: Height 21.5cm, from spout to handle 16cm, diameter of the body 15cm ❇️Production date: Based on the handwritten signature on the backstamp, it is believed to have been made around 1930. ❇️Condition: Although it is a work from about 90 years ago, there are no cracks or chips, and it is in excellent condition. Also, although it is earthenware vintage, there are no visible cracks (there are a few on the back), and there are no noticeable stains or scratches. There are almost no color unevenness, irregularities, or black spots from the time of production, and the condition is extremely good. I have tried to make the price reasonable. The number of carved works in existence is limited, and for a time in the late 1990s, this work was priced at 200,000 yen (last photo: from the related book "A Life with Susie Cooper" (written by Kyoko Iizuka)). This is a very rare item that I highly recommend to Susie Cooper collectors. Click here → #Susie Cooper on display #asaichi #sekahoshi #SusieCooper #BritishAntique 【TA】 No.1790
