J. designer reference agent-156384 adlib-agent-156384 325bee4d-188f-375f-afea-2f67246decf8 Rhead, Charlotte Charlotte Rhead (1885-1947), also known as ‘Lottie’, came from a family of potters who over several generations built a reputation for tube-lined and pâte-sur-pâte decoration. Charlotte trained at Fenton School of Art and from 1901 worked at a succession of potteries as a decorator. From 1912-1926 she worked for her father, Frederick, who was art director at Wood & Sons, and at their subsidiaries Bursley Ltd and the Ellgreave Pottery Co; some of this work appeared under her own back-stamp as ‘Lottie Rhead ware’. By 1926, she had joined Burgess & Leigh, and from 1932-c.1942 designed art-ware and other products for A.G.Richardson & Co. In 1942 she returned to a Wood & Sons subsidiary, H.J.Wood, remaining there until her death. Although best known for her popular tube-lined designs, Charlotte Read also introduced new shapes and innovative glazes, including ‘broken’ (mottled) glazes and a thick matt white ‘snow glaze’ which attracted interest in the trade press. Charlotte Rhead’s designs for H J Wood were marketed under the factory’s old ‘Bursley Ware’ label, with a special backstamp including her name, though the business had by then re-located from the Bursley works. This design is known to have been produced into the 1950s - a similar jug was advertised in Wood's catalogue, c.1954. The ‘M’ has been identified as a decorator’s mark, though unattributed (see Bumpus, 1987, p.89). reference term-107003 adlib-term-107003 6bfae9de-212e-3a35-9034-289b230284ff 1940s reference term-107748 adlib-term-107748 39198bb6-3d74-303b-816a-5baa2b2542a6 1950s reference term-108171 adlib-term-108171 c943fe08-bd72-32ab-823c-e1eeb56717b3 Burslem reference term-32652 adlib-term-32652 82d8ae3b-f165-395c-ba93-dfa1c282b7be glaze reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 24 Height in 9.5 Width cm 21.5 Width in 8.5 reference media-15203 adlib-media-15203 1fb18eb2-bb87-3173-ac38-ee7ad6996930 jpeg aa/aa6/C_14_1998_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616244292026 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_14_1998_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616244292026 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_14_1998_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616244292026 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_14_1998_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616244292026 1 image 0 media image reference media-15204 adlib-media-15204 3490016e-ce0e-3422-8857-2ef76e510b6e jpeg aa/aa6/C_14_1998_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616248295300 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_14_1998_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616248295300 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_14_1998_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616248295300 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_14_1998_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616248295300 1 image 1 media image reference term-89400 adlib-term-89400 194f8c99-93e1-30de-9465-9209222dafaa jug history note Cheffins, Grain & Comins, Cambridge, 13th May 1998, Pottery, Porcelain & Glass, lot 58; purchased by the Friends of the Fitzwilliam Museum 1 same designer reference object-28616 adlib-object-28616 5aaffdbc-b2cd-323b-b88b-5f4c478a4b84
