Charlotte Rhead Byzantine Crown Ducal Pottery Pot / Vase

Vase / Cache Pot / Plant Bowl signed by designer Charlotte Rhead

Charlotte Rhead (19 October 1885 ~ 6 November 1947) was an English ceramics designer active in the 1920s and the 1930s in the Potteries area of Staffordshire.

Charlotte Rhead was born into an artistic family. Her father Frederick Alfred Rhead began his career as an apprentice at Mintons where he learnt the art of pâte-sur-pâte ceramic decoration from Marc-Louis Solon. Frederick A. Rhead went on to work at a number of potteries including a failed venture of his own. Charlotte's mother Adolphine (née Hurten) also came from an artistic family. Charlotte's elder brother, Frederick Hurten Rhead, became a well-known pottery designer in the USA.

Here we present a lovely signed example of Charlotte Rheads work in the Byzantine pattern.
